What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and strategic growth in technology.

I help organizations turn complex business challenges into measurable results through business transformation, AI strategy, data, analytics, and technology.

Over the past 12+ years, I've worked across fintech, retail, healthcare, the public sector, and technology, leading initiatives that combine strategy, analytics, automation, and implementation to improve business performance.

My experience spans business analysis, business intelligence, AI strategy, product strategy, digital transformation, database administration, and implementation consulting. Rather than specializing in a single discipline, I enjoy connecting business objectives with technology to deliver practical solutions that create measurable impact.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to:

- Reduce reporting time by 87% through process redesign and automation.

- Scale a technology company 20x, from approximately $50K to $1M in annual revenue.

- Lead the launch of a fintech product that onboarded 10,000+ users and achieved 80% adoption.

- Improve operational efficiency by 15–30% across multiple industries.

- Deliver more than 200 technology implementation projects for enterprise clients.

My technical toolkit spans Oracle, SQL, PostgreSQL, Power BI, Python, Machine Learning, and leading AI platforms including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Perplexity.

Academically, I hold an MBA from INCAE Business School, postgraduate studies in Database Administration and Information Systems Administration, and a background in Systems Engineering. I enjoy continuous learning and exploring how emerging technologies can create real business value.

I'm currently open to remote opportunities where I can help organizations solve complex problems, improve decision-making, optimize operations, and successfully deliver business transformation initiatives.

If you're looking for someone who can bridge business strategy, data, AI, and technology while keeping execution focused on measurable outcomes, I'd be happy to connect.
