What I'm looking for

I'm looking for Data Architect, Data & AI Architect, Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect, or Data Governance Lead roles where I can build governed AI-ready platforms, lead enterprise data adoption, and connect strategy, risk, and delivery.

At Heineken Global Shared Services, I designed Azure data platforms, AI/ML-ready datasets, and enterprise integrations across 30+ operating companies. I translate business requirements into scalable reference architectures, govern data products, and reduce technical debt and infrastructure costs.

Previously, I built cross-platform computer-vision SDK architecture at Banuba and led engineering teams across seven scrum teams. I bring hands-on experience in data governance, MLOps, RAG, cloud modernization, and complex technology integration.
