Miguel Eduardo Melo Phipps

MSF candidate at the University of Miami with a strong interest in markets, risk management, and financial modeling. I am naturally curious, ambitious, and constantly looking to learn, improve, and evolve both technically and professionally.My academic and practical focus is on futures and derivatives markets, where I work with Python to analyze data, test ideas, and better understand risk-adjusted performance. During my graduate studies and internship experience, I was exposed to quantitative tools such as Monte Carlo simulation and cash-flow modeling, applying them in a project setting while supporting the analysis of a new investment fund.Before pursuing finance full-time, I had an entrepreneurial background, having been involved in launching a restaurant venture and working on real-estate investment analyses. These experiences strengthened my ability to make decisions under uncertainty and reinforced the importance of discipline, adaptability, and long-term thinking.I am motivated by complex problems, continuous learning, and environments where curiosity, ambition, and execution matter.
