  • GenAI-enabled ingestion and reporting: Support developers and business teams in designing, testing, and validating dynamic data ingestion and report generation workflows, including source-to-report reconciliation and business-ready outputs.
  • GenAI output validation: Validate extracted data, nested JSON payloads, generated summaries, trend insights, anomaly detection outputs, and narrative, table, and chart results using human-in-the-loop review and business-rule checks.
  • JSON/API and data quality validation: Validate REST API request/response payloads, nested JSON, schema alignment, metadata completeness, SQL reconciliation, source-to-output accuracy, and Jira-supported defect resolution using Postman and Swagger/OpenAPI.
  • Forward-deployed stakeholder support: Work closely with business users, product owners, developers, QA, model risk, validation, analytics, and technology teams to clarify requirements, resolve rollout issues, and close feedback loops during delivery.
  • White glove onboarding and adoption: Create onboarding guides, SOPs, user guides, training materials, UAT artifacts, knowledge-transfer content, and adoption playbooks; facilitate walkthroughs, answer user questions, capture feedback, and coordinate early-life support.
