Nicodème Westphalen

Hello, I'm Nicodème.

I'm a Franco-German finance and data student currently pursuing a Double Bachelor in Data Science & Business Analytics through the University of London (LSE track) and Forward College. My background in physics shaped the way I think — analytical, structured, and deeply curious about how complex systems work.

Professionally, I have worked at SAP in enterprise software demonstrations, supporting strategic clients and collaborating across product and sales teams. I am particularly interested in the intersection of data, finance, and product — where quantitative rigor meets strategic decision-making and clear communication.

I am always looking for opportunities that challenge me intellectually and allow me to grow — whether in analytics, product-driven environments, or finance-related roles where structured thinking and data-driven reasoning create real impact.
