Summary
I am an experienced Data Analyst, Statistician, Business Analyst, Quality and Test Specialist with over 15 years of work experience in data-driven, highly regulated projects. My professional focus is at the intersection of data analysis, software quality, test management and domain regulatory requirements, especially in banking, insurance, telecommunications, the public sector and pharma/life sciences.
I have an academic background in statistics/data science (M.Sc.) and have applied my methodological skills in classical statistics, data analytics, modeling and the quality assurance of complex IT and data platforms. In numerous projects I was responsible for conceiving, analyzing, validating and ensuring the quality of data flows, data warehouse structures, reporting solutions and analytical models.
A big part of my career has been in the finance and insurance sector. I worked for Commerzbank, Allianz Germany, Basler Versicherungen, Deutsche Rückversicherung, Finanz Informatik, S-Rating and Risk Systems, S Credit Partner, Wirecard Technologies, Santander/ISBAN and VR Leasing. In these projects, I gained deep expertise in regulatory reporting, risk management, credit and leasing processes, payments, claims and contract data, rate calculations and regulatory requirements (e.g. Basel II/III, ECB reporting). I also worked extensively with OSPlus, OSPlus neo, IDH, Abacus/Abacus360, HP Quality Center and banking data warehousing and reporting landscapes.
At the same time, I bring extensive experience in test management, quality assurance and quality engineering. Over many years, I served as a test analyst, test manager, QA lead and quality management officer – in both traditional and agile projects. My responsibilities included developing test strategies and concepts, deriving testable requirements, coordinating end-to-end, integration and acceptance tests, defect and risk management, test automation and audit and go-live support. I am ISTQB certified and have in-depth experience in quality assurance of regulated systems in banking and public environments.
Another focus of my career is in data analytics, CRM and campaign management, especially in telecom and finance. In projects with Vodafone, Unitymedia, T-Systems and Commerzbank, I contributed as a CRM analyst, data analyst and test coordinator to designing, implementing, analyzing and ensuring the quality of data-driven campaign processes. Topics included customer segmentation, churn analysis, customer lifetime value, A/B tests, real-time decisioning, marketing automation and campaign control. Additionally, I conceived, built and managed interactive dashboards and management reports.
I have extensive knowledge of SAS (over 15 years) and hold the Certified Advanced Programmer for SAS® 9 credential. My SAS experience includes Base, Macro, SQL, DI Studio, Enterprise Guide, Enterprise Miner, Risk Management for Banking and Customer Intelligence. I also work proficiently with SQL, Oracle, DB2, Teradata, MySQL, as well as Python and R. My profile is complemented by experience with ETL processes, data migrations, data warehouse architectures and BI/dashboard tools like Power BI, Tableau, Spotfire and R-Shiny.
In the public sector, I worked for the Federal Employment Agency as a quality assurance lead and test manager. There, I focused on quality assurance of requirements analysis, review and QA processes, CI/CD-related quality activities, audit support and ensuring compliance with formal and regulatory guidelines in large digitalization projects.
Additionally, I have strong experience in the pharma and life sciences environment. In several projects at Sanofi Aventis, I worked as a biostatistician/statistical programmer, analyzing clinical study data (Phases I–II), producing TFLs (Tables, Figures, Listings), developing SAS programs for statistical analysis and performing validation and plausibility tests according to SAP. I worked with GCP, data protection (GDPR) and quality standards in mind, and also helped prepare data for HTA and HEOR analyses.
In summary, I am highly structured, analytical and quality-oriented, have a strong sense of responsibility and excellent communication skills. I am used to understanding, structuring and turning complex business requirements into reliable technical, analytical and testable solutions and work confidently at the interface between business units, IT, management and external stakeholders – both nationally and internationally.
