What I'm looking for

I seek product- or data-focused roles where I can own requirements and roadmaps, collaborate with engineering on scalable data solutions, and drive measurable improvements in performance and data quality.

I am a Technical Product Manager and Senior Business Analyst with 6+ years of experience delivering data-driven systems, integrations, and BI solutions across banking, insurance, and enterprise platforms in EU and US markets. I excel at requirements discovery, translating complex workflows into functional and technical specifications, and partnering with engineering to ship scalable solutions that improve performance and reduce costs.

Hands-on with SQL and Python (PySpark), I design and validate end-to-end data flows, lead UAT, and implement data quality frameworks and observability. I have driven measurable outcomes such as reducing ingestion runtime from 23h to under 8h, cutting infrastructure costs ~30–40%, and building production-ready governance and validation rules adopted by stakeholders.
