Expert at extracting critical business needs and requirements, identifying, communicating and then delivering “on target” solutions. Mentor, lead and drive cross-functional teams to implement solutions and resolve challenges using combination of waterfall and agile methodologies appropriately.My quest to provide optimal solutions has driven me to acquire deep understanding of many different domains; security, data, infrastructure, standards and governance, regulatory implications, process engineering, risk and change management, integration capabilities as well as short and long term strategy development.I am comfortable and capable of communicating within all levels of an organization from C-Level management through to firewall and network routing teams; with business centric mindsets and infrastructure and data custodians; vendors, suppliers and consumers.My portfolio includes:* Mission critical process and solution to migrate data of over 80 applications within 18 hours as part of an acquisition integration.* Optimization of remote deposit capture solution to handle 2-5 times growth; enabling introduction to new regional markets without ramp up delays; also improved existing customer experience and satisfaction.* Convincing and educating a vendor to implement web services to enable real-time automation between their service and internal processing systems; ultimately enabling same day mortgage origination document generation and fully integrated with indexing and imaging of executed documents. * Created and implemented a long term data retention service for both structured and unstructured data, enabling system decommissioning earlier. Initial candidate resulted in $27MM save through license and service elimination.* Identified and resolved compliance/regulatory breach in Loan Origination application; avoided potential government fines in excess of $10MM.* Executed numerous Proof of Concept (PoC) projects with both internal systems and vendor offerings. Net results included bad solution avoidance decisions and where successful, solution implementation planning had significant data points to hit the ground running faster.
