This system enabled us to streamline our credit pipeline, assess borrower risk more accurately, and ultimately build a loan portfolio worth over $15 million, consisting of over 7,500 loans with an impressive default rate of less than 1%.• Additionally, I spearheaded the implementation of a comprehensive strategy for evaluating the financial health of corporate clients.
