Message

At BNP Paribas, I analyzed a legacy mainframe banking system in preparation for migration, defined test plans, and documented interface requirements. I also contributed to onboarding new technology components and improving migration documentation.

Across life assurance and financial services, I’ve analyzed system defects and data, designed corrections, and supported migrations and system conversions. My work has included delivering fixes for insurance processes and supporting major transformations, including Y2K and Euro conversion at Millennium BCP.
