Summary
Cross-functional problem-solver who owns the full data lifecycle from scoping the business question to deploying dashboards, predictive models, and automated pipelines. Fluent in Python, SQL, and cloud-native APIs, I stitch together analytics, AI, and engineering so clients walk away with answers, not just code. I thrive where challenges are open-ended, stakeholders are diverse, and success is measured in real-world outcomes.
Recent impact: architected and shipped a medallion-layer data warehouse across 11 subsidiaries (10 k + employees), wiping out manual spreadsheet consolidation and releasing finance teams for higher-value analysis.
