Summary
I've been working as a Data Analyst for over 3 years, mainly in the fintech and banking sectors. Currently, I’m part of a legal reporting team that focuses on turning regulatory requirements into automated data solutions for banks. I prepare technical documentation using SQL, run UAT processes, and help ensure smooth delivery and maintenance of reports. I'm also involved in front-end testing and work closely with development teams to address any issues that arise. I’m used to working in Agile teams and have a solid background in finance, compliance, and data analysis.
