About The Client
Organization
Regional investment and wealth advisory firm
Industry
Financial Services / FinTech
Technologies Used
- Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Vertex AI)
- Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn)
- React.js Web UI
- Tableau / Google Looker Studio
- PostgreSQL, Redis
- Terraform + GitHub Actions for IaC & CI/CD
Business Need
The client lacked a centralized and scalable system for evaluating portfolio risk and performing predictive simulations. Key pain points:
- Legacy spreadsheets with inconsistent models used by different analysts
- Manual aggregation of financial market data from multiple providers
- Delayed insight generation for risk and compliance reports
- Inability to run scalable stress tests or visualize model outputs
TECHARC Approach
We executed a 4-layer modernization strategy:
- 1.Data Ingestion Layer: Unified data from Bloomberg, Nasdaq, internal trades, and analyst reports
- 2.Risk Modeling Layer: Python-based ML models for VAR, Monte Carlo, and scenario-based simulations
- 3.Visualization Layer: React frontend for interaction + Tableau for dashboards
- 4.Compliance Reporting Layer: Automated regulatory filing engine
Implementation highlights:
- Batch & real-time ingestion using Pub/Sub and BigQuery
- Containerized model pipelines deployed with Vertex AI
- Redis for caching model results & PostgreSQL for user configurations
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions + Terraform for repeatable deployments
