## About

```text
At ANZ BANKING GROUP, I drive improvements in compliance frameworks, governance practices, and control oversight across Australia Retail technology.

As Technology Control Testing Manager at ANZ BANKING GROUP, I performed IT systems, processes, and controls audits in line with internal policies and APRA regulations. I contributed to controls automation and designed technology operation controls.

Earlier, I performed SOX404, SSAE18, SOC, and IT audit work at WIPFLI LLP and KPMG INDIA. I hold a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification and a Masters in Computer Applications from Jyoti Nivas College, Bengaluru.
