Principal Data Engineer at NXTDataCloud, implementing Azure data platforms, pipelines, and governance solutions.

At NXTDataCloud, I help clients implement Azure cloud-based data warehouse and data lakehouse services, including training, security, compliance, and governance. I’ve implemented data pipelines, orchestration, observability solutions, and a DataHub catalog to support data governance and discovery.

At De La Rue, I worked on data modelling, SQL development, and ETL/ELT pipelines, as well as data integration and architecture. I’m a certified SQL Server DBA and have worked with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, alongside cloud data platforms and tools including Airflow, NiFi, and Airbyte.
