Work History

Data Quality Analyst

Unified Loan & Security Mapping System

  • Helped build a system that links all loans and securities to one unique customer ID.
  • Previously, customers with multiple loans using the same security would get separate IDs — now resolved by adding a dropdown to select from existing securities.
  • This solution ensures cleaner data and enables teams to view full customer loan portfolios clearly, supporting better analysis and reporting.

Automated Error Reporting & Dashboard Development

  • Created a Python script that automatically pulls monthly loan processing data from Excel sheets and generates PowerPoint reports, highlighting error types and volumes.
  • This automation saves time, improves accuracy, and supports monthly performance reviews.
  • Currently building an interactive dashboard to visualize trends and help teams identify and resolve issues faster.

Data Remediation & Quality Checks

  • Regularly review, clean, and fix errors in loan data — including correcting missing fields, resolving duplication, and validating customer-security relationships.
  • Ensure data consistency and compliance with internal standards and external regulatory requirements.

Strong Understanding of Banking & Loan Operations

  • Well-versed in banking terms and processes such as:
    Loan Origination (customer onboarding, KYC)
    Collateral Management (securities linked to loans)
    Credit Risk Assessment (eligibility, scoring)
    Loan Disbursement & Repayment Cycles
    Regulatory Compliance
    (AML, OFAC, audit readiness)
  • This knowledge helps me communicate effectively across teams and ensure our data aligns with how banking systems actually operate.

  • This led to a 30% increase in screening efficiency, helping the client stay compliant with regulatory checks faster and more accurately.

Model Validation & Accuracy Enhancement

  • Worked on validating and fine-tuning financial risk models used by banking clients.
  • Improved model accuracy by 15% through structured testing and careful parameter tuning, which led to more reliable risk predictions.

AML Risk Detection Improvement

  • Helped detect suspicious transactions more effectively in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems.
  • Increased detection accuracy by 20%, contributing to stronger compliance and fraud prevention.

Sales & Profit Optimization through EDA

  • Conducted detailed Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) for a retail client.
  • Identified trends in sales data and customer behavior that led to a 25% increase in profits through improved decision-making.

Data Cleaning & Interface Development

  • Cleaned, merged, and restructured large datasets to improve data quality and reduce errors.

CI/CD Pipeline Development

  • Created Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Jenkins, which helped speed up software deployment and improved reliability across environments.

Infrastructure Automation with Terraform & GCP

  • Automated cloud infrastructure setup for a credit agency client using Terraform and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • This reduced manual tasks and made it easier to manage scalable environments for storage and virtual machines.

Java-GCP Integration

  • Integrated Java-based applications with GCP services, allowing smoother data flow and more efficient backend operations.
  • Reduced manual work by 20% through better system design and integration.

Python Deployment & Automation Enhancements
