What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can lead Oracle EPM/Hyp erion modernization, cloud integration, and performance optimization in regulated finance—partnering with executives and technical teams to deliver reliable financial close and regulatory reporting.

I’m an enterprise finance technology leader focused on delivering large-scale Oracle EPM transformations across banking and regulated financial environments. My work centers on Hyperion EPM architecture, Essbase 21C, and cloud migration—built to support financial consolidation, planning, and reliable regulatory reporting.

I’ve architected end-to-end EPM solutions (HFM, Planning, Essbase, Financial Reporting) and driven upgrades such as 11.1.2.4 to 11.2.x with highly available platform designs. I also lead cloud integration initiatives using Oracle EPM Integration Agent and OCI services to ensure secure, scalable data flow across on-prem, Oracle SaaS, and third-party systems.

Across roles from senior consultant through senior manager and solutions architect, I’ve prioritized performance optimization, high availability, and enterprise governance—working closely with stakeholders and resolving critical month-end incidents. I bring a practical, executive-aligned approach to modernization, SOX/audit readiness, and disaster recovery so finance teams can close with confidence.
