Most would describe me as a pretty genuine and effective person. As a life-long learner, over the past two years I've added to an already technically broad career by learning and using SQL, R, Qlik Sense and PowerBI in both a structured learning environment (Western Governors University) and in my work as a Technical Business Analyst. In my career proper, I am strategically minded and currently working on the data-acquisition component of a broader measuring strategy across deposit and lending operations. I am a Certified Scrum Master, Scrum Product Owner and payments professional. I've led the technical aspects of multiple agile product development and integration projects. I've managed RFP’s and data integration activities covering ACH, Wire, Mobile and Reg E platforms. I'm a leader by nature. In my 25+ year career at Deluxe, FICO, FIS, and Bremer Bank, I've led delivery, product, and installation initiatives in Payments, Analytics, Risk, Compliance, and Fraud. I have an abundance of hard technical skills that I use in data acquisition, data mapping, connectivity, and security. And paired with soft-skills in account management, business analysis, project management, and ITIL I've put together (with the teams I work with) a record of success. I'm a team player, a team-leader, a listener, contributor, analytic thinker, and participator. I've proven to be effective in all settings: in person, Zoom, staff and executive levels. • I am an advanced user of Visio, Excel, and all MS Office tools used to convey messages and concepts for requirements, epics, stories and executive level presentations.• I am an intermediate user of of SQL, for extracting data and am comfortable with joins, sub-queries and data manipulation functions. I use R for data processing and light LR modeling, and I use Qlik Sense and Power BI for visualization and analysis - I'm an intermediate user of Set-Analysis in visualization tools.• I have managed product backlog for financial crimes solutions and payments-integrated enterprise case management and Reg E solutions in Jira and TFS. • I am an IT intensive SME who has spec'd data-mapping and API integration to payments platforms, core systems, and risk and compliance systems using queries and REST web-service calls. • I am a hands-on alliance and account manager who shapes and manages “demand” using the technical concepts of the ITIL BRM framework and a collaborative nature• I have certifications that include ITIL-Foundations, ITIL-BRM, Certified Scrum Master, and Certified Scrum Product Owner.
