Drove continued shift in culture so that one line owns the timely closure of findings via weekly reporting to different necessary stakeholders.
Participated in the integration of the mapped business processes, activities, risks and controls into Metric Stream. Involved in the development of the Key Risk Indicators and Key Performance Indicators for Metric Stream. Improved reporting integrity/consistency by the implementation of data validation techniques and formula checks.
Managed the production of GECA reports timely and accurately, from Metric stream, Archer, Business Objects and other data warehouses all while driving data quality directly with all the relevant stakeholders. Shortened the timeline for delivery of these reports by use of excel macros.
Increased the insightfulness of issue management reporting with data mining and scrubbing techniques to aid in the creation and development of Year-over-Year risk profile dashboards, root cause analysis of issues closed past due, and fieldwork coverage based on the Risk Review Calendar.
Developed a simplified regression testing method for checking the data integrity of thousands of individual values after each system patch which was adopted by IT in Quality Assurance.
Effectively managed a remote team by creating and maintaining the capacity, timeliness and error rate metrics which expanded the issue management and data sampling capabilities of the team.
Introduced process simplification and team productivity by reducing the hours needed to generate a full set of report by 51%, allowing for increased/improved reporting and sampling support by the remote outsourced team - use of the team’s capacity increased to 97%, while timeliness of deliverables was increased to 98%.
Leveraged best-in-class models for sampling, reporting and analytics processes, systems and deliverables as compared to other regulated companies.
Crafted a handbook / Standard Operating Procedure for efficient and effective statistically-valid risk-based sampling of business data sets that was adopted by other lines of business.
Performed analysis/segmentation of the entire data universe (14 businesses), in order to centralize sampling and make it easier to identify risks and execute reviews.
Maintained the GECA Risk Review calendar to optimize fieldwork coverage for over 269 reviews.
Designed, built and managed effective business enterprise risk and control tests by employing project management techniques. Successfully managed testing of business IT risk management controls. Coordinated and managed scheduling of assigned testing efforts in business process risk, technology risk and vendor management risk control testing.
Designed, developed, and documented bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly and semi-annual reports with Archer, Phoenix and Business Objects to aid decision-making e.g. time-based reports, quality assurance reports and productivity reports. Maintained consistency in reporting ensuring data quality, integrity and deployment in a timely manner.
Involved in the governance of each line of business to assess key Risks, identify appropriate Controls, and to ensure that those controls are mitigating the risks effectively and consistently.
Created tools for performance models to improve the team’s effectiveness, provide insight for setting strategic objectives and drive operational performance. Chose statistically appropriate sample sizes to ensure application reviews were completed efficiently by the Operational Risk team. Summarized tests results for each completed review performed.
Identified data process improvements and leverage technology to automate and streamline existing processes which increased efficiency of audits/tests of controls by 50%.
Provided guidance for remediation efforts to the Application Information Owners to ensure the business complied with risk management policies, standards and procedures.

Validated and documented new and existing financial (prepayment modeling), and decision-making models utilized across the organization.
Prepared, formulated, extracted and analyzed large amounts of atomic level theoretical data housed in a Unix-based environment.
This involved learning the use of various programming software to accomplish goals throughout the research period.
Simulated novel lowest energy electronic structures of Boron atoms using programs based on first principles of quantum mechanics. Presented various electronic characteristics and properties of Boron cluster and nanotubes for creation in the lab.
Performed lab instruction and supervision of physics experiments based on mechanics, optics, and electro - magnetism. Mentored undergraduate students working on research projects.
Tested already published immunotherapy mathematical models discussed in bio-math research articles. This involved solving multi-parameter differential equations via Matlab.
Obtained and analyzed feedback from clients to improve processes. Implemented new organizational policies that helped improve operational performance.
Maintained and expanded internal client relationships through the delivery of high quality desktop (hardware and software) support while resolving all cases in an expedient and tactful manner. Performed various desktop support duties.
