What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a data quality or data governance role where I can improve data trust through validation, profiling, metadata governance, sensitive-data classification, dashboards, and collaboration with business and technical teams.

At IBM, I supported United Services Automobile Association enterprise data platforms by validating, profiling, cleaning, and governing data with SQL, Snowflake, Informatica IDQ, and Information Analyzer.

I've investigated missing, inconsistent, invalid, duplicate, and anomalous data; refined business-rule validations; and worked with business and technical stakeholders to resolve data-quality issues. My improved profiling and quality processes reduced manual data-profiling effort by approximately 30%.

I've classified PII and Sensitive Data Elements, connected technical metadata with business terms, and maintained lineage between business and technical assets using Informatica IGC. I also supported automated privacy controls for 5,000+ sensitive data elements.

I build Power BI dashboards and scorecards to track validation results, quality trends, KPIs, and sensitive-data exposure, helping increase trusted-data confidence to 94%+.
