What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build reliable SQL/ETL data pipelines and BI dashboards that turn raw data into clear KPI insights, partnering with stakeholders to support better decisions, ideally in a remote-ready environment.

I’m a results-driven SQL Database Developer and Data Analyst with over 2 years of experience turning raw data into actionable insights. I focus on extracting, analyzing, and visualising data to support strong business decision-making.

In my SQL Database Developer role, I develop and optimise SQL queries, stored procedures, and database objects. I design and maintain ETL processes using SSIS for SQL Server, Oracle, and flat-file sources, and I monitor performance, integrity, security, and backup procedures.

I also strengthen data quality and usability through data cleansing, transformation, and KPI reporting. I analyse datasets to identify trends, then translate them into reporting and analytics that stakeholders can rely on.

Earlier experience includes building and maintaining reporting solutions with SSRS and managing Microsoft SQL Server databases, along with application development using Java, partially React, Python, and SQL. I bring a practical, execution-focused mindset, supported by tools like Azure DevOps, GitHub, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
