I build data governance, metadata, and quality controls to protect data integrity and privacy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I develop and implement data governance policies, procedures, and controls that keep data accurate, secure, and compliant. I maintain data dictionaries and metadata repositories, and I run data quality assessments, profiling, and data impact analysis to reduce risk.
In my current role, I ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA by implementing access controls, encryption, and data masking, while training end-users on governance practices. I’ve also improved consistency and accuracy—reducing inconsistent records by 30% and boosting dataset accuracy by 25% through cleansing, standardization, and governance alignment with business teams.
