About me

I bring 8 years of experience as a data professional and cloud solutions architect, enabling digital transformation with modern cloud and AI technologies delivered to industry and security standards. I design secure, scalable analytics systems that unlock actionable insights and improve decision‑making, performance reporting, and process efficiency.

I’ve led end‑to‑end data and product initiatives across telecommunications, public sector, supply chain, and research—partnering with cross‑functional teams to turn messy data into practical, high‑impact solutions. Known as a collaborative, growth‑minded teammate, I learn quickly, plan carefully, and focus on measurable outcomes.

Recent highlights include: modernizing analytics operations supporting $170M+ in annual program decisions, automating multi‑partner ETL pipelines, launching self‑service BI environments with role‑based access, and advancing data governance and predictive risk modeling to improve outreach and engagement.
