Accomplishments
Throughout my journey from Software Development Engineer to Manager of the Software Development Team, I have led and contributed to numerous high-impact projects that significantly improved business operations and internal workflows. Notably, I developed a Swift Message Management System that automated the interpretation and processing of transaction messages—transforming what was once a full-day manual task into an efficient and streamlined process. I also spearheaded the development of an Audit Findings System, which reduced the workload for internal auditors and enabled timely generation of comprehensive reports.
