I build retail credit risk reporting and portfolio monitoring solutions for banks and fintech teams.
What I'm looking for
I've supported retail credit risk reporting, portfolio monitoring, and MIS across Citi, Barclays, Banque Misr, ADIB, and fintech environments in Egypt.
At Banque Misr, I transformed the financing programmes team's daily SAS Enterprise Guide reporting workflow, reducing runtime from four hours to 10 minutes and delivering SAS-to-Excel output with zero manual processing. I also led reporting and monitoring support for collections and contributed to improving CBE reporting processes and delinquent-account handling.
At Barclays, I increased sales potential by 30% through refined score-based sourcing-list production codes and improved portfolio segmentation tools with 55% more flexibility and 35% less ad-hoc flow.
I'm currently available for freelance offshore and fractional engagements involving retail credit reporting, portfolio monitoring, and MIS support.
