What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous learning and offers opportunities for impactful project management.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in managing quality assurance for remediation projects at Barclays Bank. My role involves overseeing teams to ensure compliance with banking operations and products, focusing on data analysis and process automation using SQL and Python. I am passionate about continuous learning and knowledge sharing, which I believe are essential for personal and professional growth.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led high-value projects, including the closure of a £140 million remediation project, and developed methodologies that enhance efficiency and compliance. My ability to translate business requirements into technical specifications has been pivotal in delivering accurate and effective solutions. I take pride in mentoring junior staff and fostering a collaborative environment that encourages skill development and innovation.
