About Ken Fauth

I automate complex processes that are integrated with multiple systems. I do it by defining technical requirements, writing macros, building databases, and implementing software resulting in over 95% improvement in quality, and over $100K in reduced costs. This energizes me because I am tapping into my superpowers of analysis, design, and translation. As an analyst, I can quickly pivot from the minutiae of detailed procedures to the ‘big picture’ that those processes and procedures support. The designer in me sees how those pieces are meant to fit together cohesively. When I translate to stakeholders across diverse disciplines, I do it by using a common language. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IT Project Management Led the software implementation of an enterprise-wide automated process discovery solution that uses AI, NLP, and ML to build detailed process maps and documentation. Reducing discovery timeframe by 50% or more. In partnership with over 45 employees across 30+ teams, obtained security, privacy team, and IT approvals, opened required firewall ports, defined load balancer rules, and deployed 10 VMs in the MS Azure cloud environment. Managed the software review and deployment process to make the desktop sensor app available across the enterprise. INNOVATION Proposed, designed, developed, and maintained an automated claim processing solution utilizing MS SQL Server, MS VBA, and IBM PCOMM emulator. Identified input errors and wrote both Excel and Access VBA scripts that read the claims, tested for common errors, and corrected specific discrepancies using a custom rules engine. Secured a 90% reduction in re-processed claims; 30% reduction in overall processing time (7 days vs 10 days), eliminated 3rd party staff augmentation by 12 FTE, and shortened back-log processing by 85%(1 month vs 6 months). REPORTING Automated reporting by building an ETL solution utilizing MS SQL stored procedures to import and scrub raw claim data into a custom MS SQL Database; wrote VBA macros in Excel to export and format monthly reports according to CMS requirements. New monthly reports were generated in 3 days vs 30 days, and improved productivity by 96%. Improved accuracy by eliminating 98% of records with errors and avoided $2M in penalty fees.
