What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in data-driven environments.

I am a strategic and results-driven Digital and Data Solutions Leader with over 19 years of experience in Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, and ETL processes. My expertise lies in designing scalable dashboards using Tableau and Power BI, optimizing SQL-driven analytics, and integrating data from multiple sources to drive informed decision-making. I have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, mentoring analysts, and implementing process automation to enhance business operations.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded data management strategies and developed enterprise-grade applications that significantly improve operational efficiency. For instance, I led initiatives that reduced reporting turnaround times from 72 hours to real-time insights and improved response times for disaster recovery operations. My commitment to data governance and quality assurance has ensured 100% accuracy in critical reports, while my ability to foster innovation among technical staff has driven successful BI implementations across various organizations.
