What I'm looking for
I am a quantitative full-stack developer with over 8 years of experience in senior data-centric roles, specializing in large-scale dataset management and analytics. My passion lies in leveraging cutting-edge technologies to build data-driven solutions that enhance decision-making and operational efficiency, particularly within the financial services sector.
Currently, as a Data Analytics Lead at VIPR Solutions, I have successfully built scalable data pipelines with Snowflake, driving a 40% improvement in global market penetration. My previous role as a Lead BI Engineer saw me architecting an end-to-end analytics solution that won the Best Investment Advice Analytics Implementation at the EU InsureTech Awards 2022. I thrive in dynamic environments and am adept at delivering automated data solutions that meet tight business deadlines.
With a recent MSc in Computer Science and a strong foundation in machine learning and advanced data processing techniques, I am committed to continuous learning and applying my skills to solve complex challenges. I am self-motivated, personable, and confident in my ability to engage with diverse stakeholders, from C-suite executives to junior colleagues.
