Work History
Experience detailing progression in Data Governance, Automation, and Systems Administration.
Vendor Data Analyst II | Cotiviti Nepal Pvt Ltd
Nov 2022 – Nov 2023 (1 Year)
- Spearheaded a critical data governance project to fix outdated system logic, resulting in a 25% relative reduction in file ingestion failures and raising the overall monthly success rate across 1 million files/month from 80% to 85%.
- Served as the primary point of contact for complex data and file ingestion failures, coordinating detailed findings between developers, managers, and stakeholders to pin point and remediate logical and rule-based system errors.
- Drove operational resilience by developing standardized, unified processing structures, training 6 new hires, and creating a centralized knowledge base to eliminate individual dependency and streamline workflows for accelerated emergency response.
Vendor Data Analyst I | Cotiviti Nepal Pvt Ltd
Oct 2020 – Sep 2022 (2 Years)
- Executed complex data validation and forensic analysis using SQL queries and error logs to identify corruption sources, reducing data file ingestion failure rate from 40% to less than 1% (a 97.5% reduction in failure rate).
- Streamlined data transfer protocols across multiple vendor accounts, increasing on-time file delivery from 70% to 92% by mitigating potential bottlenecks and ensuring critical application kickoffs were completed on time 97% of the time.
- Performed detailed quality assurance reviews using the Microstrategy platform to validate data trends and integrity, ultimately maintaining 99% accuracy of ingested client data and preventing downstream reporting errors.
Vendor Management Associate | Cotiviti Nepal Pvt Ltd
Jul 2020 – Sep 2020 (3 Months)
- Established foundational knowledge of data governance (HIPAA, PHI, PII) and internal data pipelines, ensuring vendor files adhered to strict legal privacy and integrity standards.
- Served as the primary triage analyst for file ingestion failures, investigating error logs and utilizing SQL queries to isolate and identify the root cause of data processing anomalies.
- Validated data quality and completeness using the Microstrategy platform against internal audit checks, successfully escalating detailed findings to external vendors for remediation and timely file replacement.
Associate Web Developer | Smartsites Pvt Ltd
Mar 2020 – Feb 2021 (1 Year)
- Restored compromised WordPress websites and implemented effective security checks and hardening measures to prevent future attacks.
- Implemented automated website and database backups using scripting, establishing a foundational Disaster Recovery (DR) capability and minimizing single points of failure.
- Conducted planned website security audits to identify and remediate critical issues, actively managing technical debt and vulnerability exposure.

Security Projects & Homelabs
Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) Capstone
Key Tools: Twingate, Cloudflare, Network Segmentation
- Architected and deployed a comprehensive ZTNA solution, demonstrating NIST CSF (Protect) Access Control (PR.AC) across a simulated corporate LAN.
- Configured Twingate as the primary ZTNA/VPN access broker, integrating Cloudflare for secure domain management and rigorous identity verification.
- Engineered granular, policy-based network segmentation and successfully validated the Access Control rules through simulated testing, proving security integrity.
DevSecOps Secure CI/CD Pipeline Implementation
Key Tools: Jenkins, Ansible, Python, SonarQube, Prometheus
- Developed a full CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, managing risk aligned with NIST CSF (Identify) Risk Assessment (ID.RA) and ensuring security policy compliance.
- Embedded Security Testing with SAST (SonarQube) and DAST (OWASP ZAP) into pipeline stages to prevent vulnerable code deployment.
- Integrated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Ansible and Vagrant to provision and harden VMs, applying Secrets Management and configuring Prometheus for real-time monitoring (NIST CSF Detect).
Home Server Lab Setup and Threat Detection
Key Tools: Splunk, Kali Linux, Nmap, Windows Server
