Resolve complex cross‑functional challenges by investigating data discrepancies within SAP tables and writing optimized SQL scripts to extract actionable insights. Lead "Digital Kaizen" events, using software enhancements to achieve Lean/Six Sigma goals. Deliver robust reports backed by automated data validation.
