About Pavan Krishna

I\'m a Product & Design Enthusiast with upto 5 years of experience in the fintech and banking domain at Bank of America. My work spans backend development for tax reconciliation and credit advice automation, along with optimizing reporting and compliance workflows. I’ve also led security updates, built automated reporting pipelines, and coordinated release efforts across global teams.I focus on solving real-world problems through process automation, secure deployments, and simplifying enterprise tools. I\'ve contributed to reducing manual reporting efforts by 60% and improving data accuracy by 45%. Beyond backend engineering, I’ve been part of UX modernization initiatives — redesigning onboarding steps, reviewing usability, and aligning internal tools with our design system to make them easier and faster to use.Recently, I completed a UX Design certification from helping me better understand about how products are built, used, and improved. I bring a cross-functional mindset — bridging engineering, design, and product thinking — to build tools that work well, grow easily, and are simple to use.
