Before transitioning into the IT sector, I gained valuable experience in the banking industry, focusing on customer advisory, compliance, and operational management. My responsibilities included:

Managing client portfolios and providing tailored financial solutions to meet customer needs.
Ensuring internal processes and regulatory compliance were maintained in line with banking standards.
Conducting risk assessments and implementing quality control processes to optimize workflows.
Leading teams, developing training programs, and mentoring junior employees.
