About

😎 Passionate about dashboards, design, innovation, and now AI Former World Champion in Data Visualization, I go beyond dashboards to design and build end-to-end data platforms, crafting immersive and impactful experiences that transform complex data into clear, actionable insights. With over a decade of experience across Qlik, Tableau, Power BI, and Domo, I have helped global organizations redefine their BI standards, improve adoption, and drive data-driven excellence. 🚀 Over the past year, I’ve expanded my approach by integrating AI into how data products are designed and built. By combining deep BI expertise, platform thinking, and AI, I now design and build data platforms that go far beyond traditional dashboards. This shift is already creating significant impact in large organizations like PlayStation, transforming not only how 100+ dashboard developers work, but also how 2000+ stakeholders access, explore, and interact with data. With AI, the pace of change is accelerating. This is a fundamental shift in how data platforms are built and used, and I help companies navigate and lead this transformation. Beyond my work, I have also embraced entrepreneurship, launching CaptainViz.com (a platform showcasing high-quality data visualization work) and Pictosso.com (a unique blend of digital art and data storytelling). 💡 Let’s connect and build the next generation of data platforms.

Experience

    • AI-Driven Data Platform Lead
      May 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos

      I transform how data teams work by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to build faster, smarter, and more scalable analytics platforms. 🔹 AI-Automated Dashboard Development Built an AI-powered dashboard template using Domo Custom Apps, GitHub, Cursor, and MCP-connected AI features. It combines predefined skills, business context, dataset knowledge, and PlayStation design standards, enabling developers to generate advanced data products through prompts. * Example: consolidated 3 complex dashboards into 1 unified platform in a few days, a project that would previously have taken months or remained out of reach with traditional BI tools. →Impact: faster delivery, stronger UI/UX consistency, better scalability, and more relevant insights for the business. 🔹 AI-Driven Email Insights & Actions For strategic reporting, I designed automated AI-powered emails that analyze AI-ready datasets through a structured reasoning workflow to deliver key insights and recommended actions. * Example: built a weekly AI-driven report that analyzes multiple datasets, adapts to performance, context, and seasonality, and delivers key insights with targeted action recommendations per team. → Impact: replaced a manual reporting workflow, saved ~0.5 day of work per week, and introduced targeted action recommendations as a new decision-support capability for stakeholders. 🔹 AI-Powered Data Pipeline Transformation Leveraged AI-assisted development to design, optimize, and scale backend data systems, from efficient query logic to robust pipelines and accelerated migrations. * Example: rebuilt a multi-country financial workflow in ~1 week vs 2+ months estimated. → Impact: faster delivery, reduced cost, improved data quality, and maintainability. 🔹 AI Transformation Lead Part of a core team driving AI adoption in BI, training developers, defining standards, and scaling AI workflows. → Impact: transforming how 100+ developers build and how 2,000+ stakeholders interact with data.
