LBS MFA profile evaluation

Hello guys really need your help in my profile evaluation for LBS MFA . 
Trilingual Computer Science graduate (near top of class at a non-target state university) with a complementary minor in Financial Trading, combining strong quantitative/programming capabilities with formal market training. Passed CFA Level I on the first attempt while working full-time; currently an active CFA Level II candidate targeting full charterholder status within three years.

Professional experience bridges M&A valuation and live trading desk operations. At a Big 4 strategy & transactions practice, built DCF, comparable company, and competitive bid models for renewable energy and infrastructure acquisitions across eight wind and solar assets. Subsequently at a regulated Greek brokerage, gained direct desk exposure—routing and executing live equity and derivative orders on the domestic exchange, managing client KYC/onboarding, and holding full discretionary authority over allocation and execution for a six-figure family portfolio.

Demonstrated leadership and quantitative product development include founding and scaling a 500-member financial education community hosting weekly valuation/derivatives workshops, alongside developing software for a London-based fintech startup to visualize modern portfolio theory (Markowitz efficient frontier). Former national-level basketball athlete (Greek Championship runner-up, 2022). Target: Top-tier Master’s in Financial Analysis (MFA) entry into London Global Markets (Sales & Trading, Fixed Income, and Derivatives).
