What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my data expertise to drive business growth and innovation.

With a background in computer science and business intelligence, I have developed a unique blend of technical and leadership skills that enable me to drive business growth through data-driven decision making.

My vision for a data team is one that employs critical thinking and advanced technologies to transform data into strategic assets, going beyond generating reports to becoming key partners in driving business impact. Stakeholders everywhere I have worked will attest to my outstanding technical expertise and I intend to use that as I build and develop high-performing teams
