What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and professional growth in technology consulting.

I am a Senior Technology Consultant with deep expertise in E-Discovery, Cybersecurity, and Data Governance. My career has been dedicated to delivering complex, cross-border projects for both private and public sectors. I have a proven track record of working at the intersection of legal technology, regulatory compliance, and innovation. By applying intelligent tooling such as CAL, AI, and structured analytics, I streamline E-Discovery processes, enhance compliance, and drive efficiency.

Throughout my tenure at FTI Consulting, I have led multi-jurisdictional E-Discovery and regulatory response projects for high-profile clients, managing the full project lifecycle from scoping through delivery. I have shaped and delivered technical solutions using Agile and Waterfall methodologies, balancing speed, cost, and defensibility. My role as a trusted advisor has allowed me to mentor junior consultants and improve delivery standards, while my initiatives in Generative AI have accelerated legal review decisions.
