Work Experience
XBRL Technical Advisor
Toppan Merrill
- Serve as a technical advisor between XBRL subject-matter experts, service teams, product managers and engineering teams, converting filing requirements into implementable business rules and technical designs.
- Design and document solution approaches for XBRL tagging workflows, including rule-based auto-tagging suggestions, tag reuse/overlay, review controls and EDGAR-to-XHTML conversion.
- Build proof-of-concept solutions and detailed technical documentation that clarify processing logic, edge cases, validation expectations and user workflows before engineering implementation.
- Advise on SEC filing and taxonomy considerations, including concept selection, context/unit handling, Inline XBRL markup, validation behaviour and filing-quality controls.
- Support modern web-based XBRL tagging initiatives using Angular/TypeScript concepts while applying extensive XML/XBRL domain knowledge to improve usability and production robustness.
- Partner with cross-regional stakeholders to identify technical gaps early, challenge non-production-ready approaches, and recommend scalable, maintainable implementation patterns.
XBRL Technical Lead / Automation & Application Support
Toppan Merrill
- Provided technical support and leadership for XBRL teams across India and the United States, resolving complex filing, XML, application and workflow issues.
- Led Chennai technical support activities and worked directly with onshore teams on technical initiatives, production readiness, issue analysis and process transitions.
- Developed C#, VB.NET and VBA-based utilities, templates and productivity tools to reduce repetitive manual effort and strengthen operational controls.
- Built XBRL validation solutions for SEC and European filing workflows and supported quality assurance across XML-based conversion processes.
- Performed UAT and regression testing for application releases, translated requirements into test scenarios, tracked defects in JIRA and collaborated with development teams on resolution.
- Created technical documentation, test scripts, checklists, pilot solutions and training material; mentored staff and vendors on XBRL/XML tools and processes.
- Completed two business visits to the United States, strengthening collaboration with onshore stakeholders and understanding of client-facing delivery expectations.
Projects
XBRL Auto-Tagging & Rule Engine
- Designed rule-driven approaches to identify filing sections and suggest XBRL concepts using business signals, taxonomy constraints, confidence thresholds and review controls.
XBRL Overlay / Tag Reuse
- Defined technical logic to retain and relocate existing Inline XBRL tags when source content changes, including fact matching, text-block handling, approval workflows and controls.
SEC EDGAR to XHTML Conversion
- Documented conversion and compliance considerations for transforming filing HTML into EDGAR- compatible XHTML, including Inline XBRL namespace/markup handling.
XBRL Tagger UI POC
- Built and refined a modern tagging UI proof of concept covering document loading, taxonomy browsing, text/table tagging, context and unit handling, fact cards, auto-tagging suggestions and review workflows.
Productivity & Validation Automation
- Developed Windows/VBA-based internal tools for productivity monitoring, tracking, document processing and validation.
