What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help organizations scale AI adoption with strong governance—leading data and decision-intelligence transformations end-to-end, from strategy and architecture to delivery, across enterprise and public-sector environments.

I’m an AI Transformation and Data Strategy technology consultant with 6+ years of experience advising organisations on AI adoption, digital transformation, and AI-enabled decision intelligence platforms. I currently serve as Assistant Manager, Data Advisory at KPMG, advising senior stakeholders on AI adoption strategy, enterprise AI governance, and data platforms that enable automation and AI-driven decision making.

I translate complex business challenges into scalable AI and data solutions across regulated public-sector and enterprise environments. I lead AI transformation and data strategy engagements end-to-end—building adoption roadmaps, defining decision intelligence solutions, and aligning stakeholders through workshops, operating models, and governance frameworks.

From strategy through execution, I’ve driven cross-functional delivery of AI pilots, analytics platforms, and intelligent automation solutions, and contributed to approximately $300,000 in advisory revenue through client engagements and transformation program delivery. I also have hands-on engineering and customer-facing implementation experience, including building learning experiences for Moodle and Open edX-based projects and automating workflows with Zendesk, Zapier, and HubSpot.
