About Kiran Kumar Shankar

As a seasoned professional in quality assurance and data analysis, I have a strong track record of driving product excellence and enhancing customer satisfaction. I excel in developing and implementing robust QA processes, managing teams, ensuring timely project completion and analyzing datasets and visualizing the data using various tools. My leadership involves guiding teams through project planning, task assignment, and progress monitoring. In my role, I\'ve utilized SQL to analyze complex datasets, built cost models, and visualized data trends using tools like Tableau and PowerBI. I\'ve worked with both financial services and banking clients. My expertise extends to financial transactions, where I\'ve reviewed and analyzed them to identify suspicious activities related to money laundering. I assess customer risk profiles to devise effective strategies for mitigating AML risks and stay abreast of global AML regulations to ensure compliance and adapt policies accordingly. Additionally, I have worked with multiple payment gateway clients to implement various network rate changes into a cost model to accurately predict potential impact to merchants and end customers. I have worked on multiple projects, helped save millions of dollars for clients and stakeholders by analyzing data sets and providing valuable insights, improved cost models and ensured that forecasted revenue and expenses are modeled correct, thereby saving millions of dollars in potential penalties. I also facilitate regular stakeholder meetings to provide project updates and discuss feature requests, ensuring alignment and transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
