What I'm looking for

I seek senior SAS consulting roles focused on finance data marts, ETL automation and system migrations, with collaborative teams and technically challenging projects.

I am a senior SAS systems consultant with decades of hands-on experience delivering finance-focused data marts, ETL pipelines, and reporting solutions across banking, insurance and corporate clients.

Since 1991 I have built and migrated complex SAS environments (SAS v9.x, SAS/VIYA, SAS/FM, SAS/DI) and automated batch processes to improve reporting accuracy and operational efficiency.

I have led implementations and integrations on Linux, Unix, Z/OS and Windows platforms, and collaborated closely with financial analysts to produce tailored Data Marts, OLAP cubes and regulatory reporting such as FINREP and Solvency II.

I bring proven technical leadership, deep SAS macro and data-warehouse expertise, and a pragmatic focus on delivering maintainable solutions that support finance and risk operations.
