Led a mock RFP evaluation comparing 3 vendors on weighted criteria and 3-year TCO, recommending a clear winner on both dimensions. Redesigned vendor onboarding, cutting handoff steps from 11 to 2 (82% reduction), and built a 13-story implementation backlog across 3 sprints.

Built a serverless AWS pipeline (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS) that automatically reconciles vendor invoices against contract rates, routing discrepancies for review. Validated the pipeline with real boto3 calls, catching and fixing a Lambda configuration bug before deployment.

Developed a contractor workforce forecast in Excel projecting quarterly headcount and spend against budget, with a live scenario toggle (Base Case, rate increase, hiring freeze) recalculating budget runway automatically. Modeled contractor-vs-FTE cost tradeoffs across 5 roles.

Identified $235,881 in potential annual savings by analyzing license utilization and renewal timelines across 35 technology contracts. Built a SQL and Python pipeline flagging consolidation opportunities, with migration-cost-adjusted savings excluding categories where consolidation didn't pay off.

Built a Power BI vendor scorecard (Power Query, DAX) ranking 20 technology vendors on SLA, cost, and incident KPIs. Designed a weighted scoring model with an automatic critical-incident override, flagging 5 underperformers, and delivered a cross-validated Excel dashboard and QBR deck.

Trained a Spark MLlib model predicting antimicrobial resistance from bacterial genomic markers (0.876 AUC), with feature importances validating against known AMR biology. Built surveillance-trend analytics detecting a rising carbapenemase-resistance signal across a 3-year isolate dataset.
