What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can improve data quality and reliability, build scalable analytics products, apply engineering best practices, and partner with stakeholders to enable self-serve decision-making.

I am a technically driven Analytics Engineer with over five years' experience in fintech and insurance, focused on turning complex logic into reliable, reusable data that teams trust.

At Shawbrook Bank I improved a self-serve analytics app, cutting dashboard load times from 11 minutes to under 5 seconds, built refresh orchestration with Celery, and delivered an ML forecasting model to support Marketing and Finance.

At AXA I designed and maintained ETL workflows in Databricks, applied engineering practices to make models regulatory-ready, refactored pricing logic into class-based, tested modules, and established Git and CI/CD standards to reduce defects.

I care about data quality, practical solutions and enabling stakeholders with clear documentation, self-serve features and training so teams can make confident, data-driven decisions.
