What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable analytics and cloud-ready data pipelines—combining Power BI, Python/SQL automation, and strong data governance to deliver KPIs and product-ready insights.

I’m a Data Analyst focused on turning complex requirements into scalable data solutions, with a strong bias toward cloud architecture, data quality, and measurable outcomes. From KPI dashboards to automated workflows, I build systems that help teams move faster with confidence in the data.

At WorldSportsPool, I’ve been the Founder & Lead Data Architect, designing NoSQL schemas in Firebase/Firestore, implementing event tracking for core KPIs, and engineering automated data workflows using TypeScript, Cloud Functions, and schedulers.

At Serasa Experian, I evolved from Junior Data Analyst to Senior roles and Data Strategy Specialist—building ingestion pipelines, improving E2E pipeline monitoring, and creating Power BI dashboards connected to MSSQL and MS Azure. As a Product Owner (PO), I optimized the product backlog using Agile/Scrum to ensure on-time delivery, while also enforcing data protection compliance and corporate data governance frameworks.

I’ve also delivered direct impact through automation and governance partnerships—creating anomaly detection dashboards, building Python automations that saved ~3000h/year of manual labor, and working with security/data governance to develop safe data transfer mechanics that eliminated data leakage vulnerabilities. My background in Computer Science (including a sandwich exchange at Dalhousie University) supports my comfort with algorithms and software design, and I’ve applied that foundation in data science pipelines (Python, Pandas, NumPy) and even AR/Unity game logic during my exchange program.
