What I'm looking for

I seek challenging roles in financial services where I can lead data governance, build scalable ETL pipelines, enhance regulatory reporting, and drive automation and analytics improvements.

I am a Senior Data Analyst with over 8 years of experience delivering data warehousing, data governance, and advanced analytics solutions for banking and financial services. I specialize in ETL, metadata management, AML analytics, credit risk modeling, and regulatory reporting under frameworks such as Basel III, CCAR, and BCBS 239.

My technical toolkit includes Informatica (PowerCenter, IDQ, IDA), SQL Server (T-SQL, SSIS, SSRS, SSAS), AWS (S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, Lambda), Azure IaaS, SAS, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and Teradata; I have implemented automated pipelines, data quality frameworks, and performance tuning across large-scale financial systems.

I deliver measurable improvements in data accuracy, automation, and regulatory compliance by designing data governance policies, creating robust ETL and reporting processes, and translating complex banking data (including SWIFT/payment formats) into actionable insights for stakeholders.
