What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help technology professionals build confidence, leadership capability, career progression, and personal fulfilment through one-to-one coaching, mentoring, and personal development support.

I've led data architecture and enterprise transformation work across iCare Insurance, QBE Insurance, and Macquarie Group, turning complex data challenges into scalable, secure solutions.

At Macquarie, I re-architected and migrated a legacy on-premises data warehouse to AWS, simplifying pipelines through reusable, configuration-driven frameworks. I've designed Data Vault 2.0, dimensional, and relational models for financial, retail, and e-commerce domains, including financial crime, fraud analytics, and regulatory reporting.

I also coach professionals and emerging leaders through career progression, confidence, and personal development. I bring 19 years in data management, analysis, and visualisation, along with a collaborative approach to stakeholder engagement, mentoring, and organisational change.
