About Sandesh Periyapatana Vasanthkumar

As a Data Governance Analyst, I apply my expertise in IT strategy, governance, and enterprise systems (strengthened through my Master’s in Information Technology and Management from The University of Texas at Dallas) to build frameworks that improve data quality, lineage, cataloging, and policy compliance across modern cloud environments. With over 13 years of experience in the pharma and healthcare IT domain, I specialize in DevOps, Computer System Validation (CSV), and regulatory compliance for global pharmacovigilance systems. Experienced in implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and validation frameworks ensuring compliance with GxP, GAMP5, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, and HIPAA standards. Worked extensively on pharmacovigilance and safety systems such as ARISg, LifeSphere MultiVigilance, Safety Risk Management, and CentralCoding for global clients including Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Bayer. Led cross-functional QA, DevOps, and IT teams, aligning automation workflows with validation requirements to drive audit readiness, compliance, and data integrity. Passionate about bridging compliance, DevOps, and data governance to help organizations stay audit-ready, data-driven, and innovation-focused.
