About

I am a Data & Analytics professional with 12+ years of experience spanning Data Science, Analytics Engineering, Business Intelligence, and Data Product Management. I help organizations build trusted data foundations, scalable data products, and AI-powered decision systems that transform data into measurable business outcomes. My experience spans building data products, leading high-performing teams, designing analytics platforms, developing semantic layers, driving experimentation, and enabling self-service analytics at scale. I partner closely with Product, Engineering, Finance, Marketing, Operations, and executive leadership teams to translate complex business challenges into actionable insights, strategic roadmaps, and data-driven decisions. While I have extensive experience building and coaching analytics teams, I remain deeply hands-on across SQL, Python, dbt, data modeling, cloud data platforms, BI technologies, and modern data stack. More recently, I have focused on leveraging Generative AI, Agentic AI, Claude Code, Codex, MCPs, and LLM-powered workflows to accelerate analytics delivery, automate insight generation, improve productivity, and create more intelligent decision-support systems. I am particularly passionate about operating at the intersection of data, AI, and business strategy, building systems that not only explain what happened, but help organizations understand why it happened, predict what is likely to happen next, and recommend the best actions to take. I am particularly interested in leadership and senior IC-level roles across Data Science, Analytics Engineering, Data Products, Business Intelligence, Product Analytics, and AI-powered analytics, where I can help organizations build intelligent data ecosystems that drive measurable business impact.
