About Aja Labrador

As a Senior ALM Data Analyst at First Horizon Bank, I specialize in automating processes, building scalable data pipelines, and enhancing funds transfer pricing (FTP) frameworks. Leveraging Python, SQL, SAS, and Power Query, our team has reduced manual workload, improved enterprise reporting, and minimized key person risks. A key focus is leading our migration to Empyrean Cloud, enabling faster computations and scalable data storage to support treasury operations. Aiming to foster collaboration, I actively partner with cross-functional teams and external consultants to validate code migrations and ensure seamless project execution. Automation of tasks like Jira creation and SharePoint data ingestion has streamlined workflows and improved accountability. My work is grounded in a passion for crafting solutions that empower organizations to make data-driven decisions efficiently and effectively.
