Analyze benchmark definitions, blending logic, and drifted allocations to ensure consistency with expected outcomes.
Build diagnostic scripts in Python and structured queries in SQL to isolate and document root causes of deviations.
Collaborate with engineers to translate findings into long-term system updates and validation rules.
Develop and maintain data-quality dashboards, audit trails, and investigative documentation.
Partner with portfolio management, operations, and engineering teams to improve transparency and trust in performance reporting.
