I build trusted data products and reporting that improve engineering, finance, and commercial decisions.
What I'm looking for
At Jaguar Land Rover, I own the integrity and usability of software and systems defect data across engineering programmes, building governed flows between JIRA, Google Cloud and Tableau. I turn complex defect data into weekly senior-management dashboards and actionable insights.
Across Nissan, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Electric and independent consulting work, I’ve built SQL and Python pipelines, Power BI and Tableau reporting, forecasting models, and operational workflows that improved forecast accuracy, reporting speed, delivery efficiency and financial visibility.
