Open to finance & analytics roles

Yash Vasdev.

I build finance automation, AI-run knowledge systems, and audited money processes — systems for things most people do by feel.

01ABOUT

The human behind the numbers

Finance student at NMIMS Mumbai — MBA in Business Analytics, batch of 2027. Three internships in (Kraft Heinz, PepsiCo twice).

Somewhere along the way I realised the interesting problem isn’t learning finance — it’s designing the machine that learns it. So I built one: an Obsidian vault operated by Claude Code that runs my studying, my money process, and increasingly my life admin.

The pattern behind everything I make: write the rules down, track the errors, let the system do the remembering.

Things I’ve built

🧠

The Second Brain

An Obsidian vault operated by an AI agent — structured metadata as a query layer, git tracking every change, custom commands for recurring workflows, notes compiled into slide decks automatically.

🎯

CFA Error Tracker

A self-quiz question bank where every wrong answer gets tagged with the type of error actually made. 160+ questions in, the tags reveal patterns no practice score would — most “careless mistakes” turned out to be concept gaps in disguise.

Finance Automation @ Kraft Heinz

Documentation first, automation second, reusability third: process documents for six BlackLine processes, then VBA automations that cut manual effort by 89–94% — built to work across processes, not just the ones handed to me.

📒

Money Rules

My portfolio run like an audited system — a ledger recording state and every update, standing rules with a dated decision log, a machine-readable time series underneath. Every decision has a date and a reason, so future-me can audit past-me. Numbers private, deliberately.

What I study with no exam attached

NEGOTIATION

Splitting the pie properly

Nalebuff’s Split the Pie, Cialdini’s Influence — the mechanics of getting to yes without leaving value on the table.

MENTAL MODELS

One note per bias

A growing folder of biases, logic, and frameworks — because knowing the name of your error is half of not repeating it.

STATISTICS

The grammar of evidence

StatQuest et al. — building the intuition under the formulas, one concept at a time.

OPTIONS

Volatility and its prices

Natenberg and Zerodha Varsity — how derivatives actually breathe, beyond the exam definitions.
