Notable Projects

Financial Report Automation (Audit Packs Generation)
- Process Optimization & Automation: Led the automation of financial report generation, validation, and auditing, replacing a manual process that previously required 4-6 team members approx.160 hours weekly to complete.
- Documentation & Solution Design: Created Process Definition Documents (PDD) and Solution Design Documents (SDD) to align automation with business objectives.
- Efficiency Improvement: Streamlined the manual process, reducing processing time from 30 minutes (manual) to 6 minutes (automated), significantly improving accuracy and consistency.
Financial Reconciliation Automation (Cash Recon)
- Business Continuity & System Recovery: Rebuilt a critical financial reconciliation process due to missing source code during a business migration, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
- Efficiency Gains: Improved processing speed, reducing reconciliation time by 10%, allowing for faster financial reporting.
Report Generation and Distribution (AMDW)
- Critical Bug Fix & Process Enhancement: Diagnosed and resolved a major bug that could have disrupted operations during a business migration.
- Innovation & Maintainability: Implemented a test mode feature, reducing future debugging time and improving long-term system maintainability.
- Rapid Deployment: Successfully deployed the fix within 1 day of migration, minimizing downtime and ensuring system stability.
