Highlights: |
Worked with unreasonable timelines and delivered my projects on time every time. Won 'Pinpoint' Awards at Nielsen for on-time project deliveries. As a contractor, I documented all funtions of tasks I was responsible for, and used that documentation as a training guide for new employees to my group. The client liked my documentation in the Test arena that she implemented it in the Production area as well. As Information Security Officer, I was pivotal in the development, implementation and distribution of a Bank-wide Data Security Policy affecting over 60 customer banks. |
