What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for leadership and impactful data-driven decision-making.

My journey in data engineering began over a decade ago, driven by a passion for turning raw data into valuable insights that fuel business growth. I specialise in leading and managing projects from inception to execution, delivering scalable and innovative data solutions tailored to meet organisational needs.

Over the years, I’ve gained expertise in data warehousing, big data processing, and cloud computing. My role often involves balancing the need for technical precision with the demands for speed and scalability, while ensuring compliance with data governance and security standards.

What keeps me excited about data engineering is the constant evolution of technology and the endless possibilities it brings. I’ve always been committed to continuous learning, adapting to new trends, and ensuring that my teams stay at the forefront of innovation.

My Expertise Includes:
- Tech & Product Leadership: Managing cross-functional teams, Product strategy, Roadmap planning, Agile execution
- Data Engineering & Analytics: Designing ETL/ELT pipelines, data-driven analytics, and scalable solutions
- Stakeholder Management: Collaborating with executives, product owners, and engineering teams to align business goals with data strategies
