What does your role at RiskSpan entail?
I work on the product side with the development team and help to build new features and improve existing features the Edge Platform. I also support some of our larger client contracts which require more long-term and custom maintenance. I work alongside some of these clients that have custom requirements and help implement custom solutions based on their feedback. These custom solutions become permanent Edge Platform features when they are found to be relevant to other clients and prospective clients. A large part of my work has been related to ETL, enhancing our process for extracting and cleaning client data, enabling more client input and visibility to the ETL process and, more recently, streamlining our ETL process to facilitate a faster setup for future clients.
