What I'm looking for

I seek a data-forward organization where I can lead analytics strategy, build scalable data systems, mentor teams, and deliver actionable BI that supports executive decisions.

I am a data analytics professional with extensive experience building scalable data systems, leading analytics teams, and translating complex data into strategic insights that inform executive decision-making. I have designed and executed data governance strategies, led data migrations to AWS, and built self-service analytics platforms that dramatically improved reporting turnaround and data consumption.

I have a proven record delivering business impact through Power BI suites, automated data pipelines using R, Python and AWS services, and analytics models for credit risk, customer segmentation and market penetration. I thrive mentoring analysts, collaborating cross-functionally, and implementing practical data solutions that support growth and operational excellence.
