- Database Management: Optimize database schemas, queries, and data pipelines across both on-prem relational (e.g., DB2, Sybase) and cloud-based (e.g. Snowflake) database platforms.
- API Design & Security: Develop and secure RESTful APIs to facilitate seamless data exchange between internal systems and external partners, ensuring low latency and high availability.
- AI & Intelligent Automation: Apply hands-on experience in Generative AI, machine learning, and large language model (LLM)



integrations to build intelligent features, automate workflows, and enhance user and operational outcomes.
- Partnering with Stakeholders: Apply knowledge of the financial industry and compliance or risk functions to design and improve compliance surveillance models.
