Viral Haria
Data Quality & Governance Specialist
I'm a data professional with ~10 years of experience turning messy financial and ESG data into reliable, audit-ready datasets. I've spent my career at the intersection of data quality, governance, and automation — building the controls, pipelines, and documentation that make data trustworthy at scale.
Currently at MSCI Services Inc., I lead ESG data delivery end-to-end: from collection and cleansing through calibration, validation, and release. I've integrated AI/GPT workflows that improved extraction accuracy by ~30%, built RegEx automation frameworks that cut manual effort by 90%+, and governed 300+ data points with consistent business rules and full audit trails.
How I work
The principles that guide every data program I own.
Quality First
Data that isn't trustworthy isn't useful. I build controls, validation layers, and documentation that make datasets reliable enough to stake decisions on.
Automate the Repetitive
If a task is done more than twice, it should be automated. I've built frameworks that turned days of manual work into minutes of repeatable, traceable processing.
End-to-End Ownership
I don't hand off problems. I own data programs from requirements through delivery — including the edge cases, the exceptions, and the audit evidence.
Open to new opportunities
Looking for Data Analyst, Data Quality, or Data Governance roles where I can own data programs end-to-end and drive measurable quality improvements.
