I build trusted data platforms for enterprise decisions and AI agents.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build governance infrastructure and trusted data platforms that let leaders and AI agents act confidently on enterprise metrics. I thrive in roles where I can connect product, engineering, analytics, and organizational capability.

At AWS, I own the semantic governance and consumption layer for AWS Finance’s data platform, governing metrics and dimensions so thousands of finance users, leaders, and AI agents can act without hesitation. I consolidated 86 dashboards into 33 while improving adoption from 42% to 75%, and built embedded analytics used by 14,000+ workforce-planning users.

Previously at Paradox, I chartered Data Insights from scratch and built the measurement layer for a human review and labeling loop supporting an AI assistant. Labeled conversations fed model retraining and A/B testing, improving response accuracy by 24%; I also grew a governed reporting library from 5 to 75 datasets and built an Early Warning System that identified 14 client issues in its first month.

My 20-year pattern started at Beeline, where I built analytics platforms for 150+ enterprise clients, authored data contracts across 11 reporting modules, and created governance frameworks for product adoption. I find broken operational infrastructure, write the truth layer behind the metric, and leave the organization more capable than I found it.
