Designed, built and implemented technical solution to aggregate, standardize and enrich position and PNL data across multiple ETRMS, external models, and spreadsheets to manage disjointed ETRM instances and business acquisitions. This was both a technological and feature based enhancement of the engine built previously, which enabled the team to return to daily risk reporting across the organization through the creation of a single source of truth. This holistic data repository offered advanced adjustment input & tracking, automated business intelligence, independent price verification, exception reporting, limit monitoring, and operational crutches such as NG volume balancing, retail modeling verification, upload, and processing.During these 5 years, the role was heavily involved in the eventual replacement of Allegro with OpenLink Endur, beginning with NG and ending with Power. Responsibilities included SME for Power, including requirement gathering, process overview, retail modeling review and other project related efforts. The Infrastructure team was responsible for bridging the reporting gap between Allegro and Endur across the implementations, utilizing the reporting solution previously built to continue to standardize and centralize disparate data streams.
