Javier Bernal-Polo
Founder of Bernal FinTech SL. Data engineering, financial analysis and software.
I built every piece of the platform: the data pipeline, the database, the models, the charts and the software. There is no engineering team on one side and a finance team on the other — that is why the probabilistic layer is part of the product, and not a marketing bullet.
I come from two trades that usually sit apart: data engineering and financial analysis. I can build the pipeline that brings the data in from the source, clean it and run it in production — and I can read what comes out: the accounts, the valuation, the risk. That is what you get when you hire me: one person who understands the finance problem and writes the code that solves it.
What I do
- Data and infrastructure Pipelines from databases, APIs and the web; reference data by ticker and ISIN, trading calendars and currencies; data quality, lineage and day-to-day operation in production.
- Software and platform Python and PHP on the server, JavaScript in the browser, REST APIs; screeners over tens of thousands of securities, tests on the calculation logic and SEO in four languages.
- Financial analysis, valuation and risk Discounted cash flows, multiples and cost of capital; market risk measures with their confidence intervals stated; asset allocation and asset-liability management.
- Advanced analytics and AI Forecasting with time series and neural networks; language systems over annual reports and earnings calls, run on-premise; coding agents with rules and review.
- Reporting and management control Dashboards, print-ready reports straight from raw data, break-even and process costing; automated invoicing and bookkeeping for a small business.
