Freddie Mac Aug’14 – Apr’16
McLean, VA
Role: QA Analyst/ Test Data Lead
Project: Single Security Dec'15 - Apr'16
The Single Security Internal Readiness program was chartered to prepare Freddie Mac to issue and administer the new Single Security. This will entail a broad range of internal system, data and process changes. In order to be successful, those changes must all adhere to a certain set of standards. Some of these standards are mandated by FHFA and are common with Fannie Mae, others are based on Freddie internal business decisions. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will be the Issuers and Guarantors of the Single Security. However, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae security collateral can be commingled in a Resecuritization (e.g., Supers or REMICs). Both GSEs will leverage CSS / CSP as an agent to perform operational Issuance and Bond Administration functions.
Project: CSP LI SOR Dec'14 -- Dec'15
The Common Securitization Platform (CSP) is a major element of the new infrastructure for single-family mortgage securitization being developed by the Enterprises under FHFA’s direction. The platform will consist of a commonly defined set of business services, performed through CSP’s underlying technology and operations, that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and eventually other, fully private firms will be able to use to perform major aspects of the securitization process. Freddie Mac is required to integrate with a Common Securitization Platform (CSP) which will be responsible for issuing securities, bond administration and monthly master servicing of securitized loans. Integration with the Common Securitization Platform (CSP) will require Freddie Mac to establish a platform to facilitate real-time information exchange and build interfaces to CSP for issuance/disclosure, bond administration and servicing data operations.
Project: Common Transformation Service Aug'14 -- Dec'14
Common Securitization Platform is part of FHFA’s strategic plan for the GSEs. As part of the program, multiple business processes across Freddie Mac exchange data with CSP. These business processes represent data in different formats and there is a need to transform these different formats of data in to each other to ensure the data is consumed/ interpreted appropriately.
Common Transformation Service that transforms data between Legacy and Canonical Data Model used in the enterprise and the CSP interface. The solution will be reusable and shared across multiple business processes. The solution will store all transformation rules in a central repository and be available for consumption.
