## About

```text
At InBank, I automated the Board Reporting Package, cutting preparation time from 40+ hours to under 30 minutes. I also engineered automated solutions for incentive tracking and executive KPI reporting, and directed Cognos BI development and SQL administration.

At Mechanics Bank, I engineered audit-ready data platforms and reporting solutions, with automation that reduced manual effort by 50–90%. I also assisted product owners with bank merger data migration and conversion, using test data to expose loan-code gaps and prevent dozens of misclassifications before go-live.
