  • Designed Data-and-API-First architecture flows data from ingestion to destination systems to eliminate manual rekeying, improve data quality, and reduce cycle times
  • Implemented Workflow automation to ensure the ‘right data at the right time’ within process to automate handoffs, controls, and escalations, while maintaining human-in-loop visibility
