SQL Data Transformation Lead turning requirements into trusted dashboards and ML insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a SQL Data Transformation Lead who builds client-facing, transparent datasets and reporting across multiple domains. I partner with business stakeholders to gather and document requirements, define data structures and business rules, and translate them into actionable deliverables.
At Sodexo, I lead data transformation and transparency initiatives using SQL and modern analytics platforms, collaborating with data owners to validate source systems and align data capabilities with reporting needs. I also take ownership as the primary liaison between stakeholders and development teams, ensuring implementation success and clear delivery communication.
Before that, I served as a Data and Business Analyst at Uniplaces, partnering with senior stakeholders to define KPIs and deliver dashboards and data-driven insights for business and marketing performance. I used advanced analytics, customer segmentation, and behavioral analysis to improve targeting, conversions, and engagement while supporting marketing optimization decisions.
My foundation is a Master in Data Analytics, where my work included an unsupervised ML thesis on anomaly detection in pet behavioral data. I’ve also applied analytics in real challenge settings (e.g., document classification, sentiment analysis, Bayesian Networks), which keeps my approach practical: build models and reporting that stakeholders can trust and act on.
