Outcomes, not just tools

I own delivery across the full stack, from SQL and data modeling to the dashboards and AI assistants people actually use, and it shows in the numbers.

01

BI and dashboards that save time

Semantic models and Power BI dashboards teams rely on every day. 30+ reports across 40+ locations that save 50+ hours of manual analysis a week.

02

Data pipelines and modeling

Automated ETL and star-schema models, from SQL through to the dashboard. Production pipelines that returned 210+ hours a month to operations.

03

AI-powered analytics

LLM assistants that turn plain-language questions into governed SQL, scoped per user by row-level security. AI workflows that let people query data in plain words.

04

Cloud-native delivery

End-to-end analytics on Azure, provisioned as code and reproducible from scratch with a single command.

About

A bit about me

I build analytics systems that cut reporting friction and turn fragmented data into decisions teams can act on. With 4+ years as a Data Analyst and BI Developer, I connect business needs to reliable data: automated pipelines, standardized KPIs, Power BI dashboards and AI-assisted workflows.

Lately I have gone deeper on cloud-native and AI: Azure, automation and LLM-powered workflows that let people ask questions of their data in plain language. I care about making data easy to trust and genuinely useful, from the model underneath to the dashboard people open.
