Overview

As Data Visualization Lead I led BI and performance reporting across the Consumer Banking and Card segments. The work covered requirements, a centralized SQL Server data warehouse integrated from Oracle and core systems, dashboards in Power BI, SSRS and Oracle BI, automated multi-frequency reporting, and Row-Level Security for branch and department-level access.

Business problem

  • Branch and product performance across 900+ branches needed consistent, timely reporting.
  • Consumer Banking and Cards data lived in Oracle and other core systems, not in an analytics-ready store.
  • Access had to be restricted by role, department and branch to meet governance and regulatory expectations.
  • Daily to yearly reporting cycles required reliable automation.
