Data Governance Manager who established DataHub as PAX8 INC.'s enterprise catalog and standardized analytics metrics with a dbt semantic layer.

United States

Message

At PAX8 INC., I established DataHub as the central enterprise data catalog, implementing the platform and developing stewardship standards, metadata, and a business glossary. I also partnered with Data Engineering and Analytics to standardize metrics and dimensions through a dbt semantic layer across Redshift data.

At VILLAGECARE, I built an enterprise data governance framework grounded in DAMA-DMBOK principles and HIPAA requirements. I directed Alation and Anomalo implementations and developed data quality controls, QA and UAT processes, and programs for privacy and retention.

At BNY MELLON, I partnered with Data Stewards and SMEs to define metadata, lineage, and quality rules in Collibra, supporting enterprise data certification. I also coordinated validation and remediation in Informatica Data Quality.

Earlier, I supported data governance and regulatory controls at BNP PARIBAS, DTCC, and BANK OF AMERICA. At SCOTIABANK, I worked across requirements, analysis, testing, and application support, using data analysis and warehouse architecture to support financial services applications.
