Additionally, Anand’s skills in Data Governance and Requirements Analysis ensure that the data architecture not only aligns with strategic objectives but also adheres to compliance standards.
Throughout his career, Anand has demonstrated a commitment to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring that all projects are executed with precision and efficiency. His ability to bridge the gap between technical requirements and business analysis has made him a key contributor to Citi's data management strategies, positioning the organization to leverage data as a strategic asset in an increasingly regulated financial landscape.
