What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on data quality and operational risk where I can apply strong validation, reconciliation, and reporting skills within a collaborative, compliance-oriented team.

I am a data-focused professional with experience managing technology and operational data within financial services and the public sector. I emphasize data accuracy, reconciliation, and governance to support reliable reporting and compliance.

At Macquarie Group I managed, validated, and reconciled large volumes of technology and operational data, ran regular data quality checks, and resolved duplicate or inconsistent records in line with governance criteria. I maintained structured trackers and dashboards (Jira) to monitor workloads and meet daily processing targets.

I produced routine and ad-hoc reports for internal stakeholders, supported compliance and assurance activities by verifying records against established standards, and coordinated with stakeholders to close data gaps. Earlier, I supported local government data collection, cleaning, and reconciliation, and helped develop an inventory management system.

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Data Science and Analytics and bring technical skills in Microsoft Excel, Alteryx, Cognos Analytics, SPSS, and query languages including JQL and SQL to roles focused on data quality, operational risk, and analytics-driven decision making.
