About

Data storyteller. Problem solver. The person who finds the data discrepancy everyone else missed. Senior BI Architect and Data Analyst with 12+ years of production delivery across Marketing, Finance, Sales, Customer Success, and Operations analytics. What I do: I design the data infrastructure AND I do the analysis that runs on top of it. The reason the warehouse model holds up is that I'm also the consumer asking the questions it has to answer. Modern data stack architect (BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Kafka, Terraform, multi-cloud GCP/Azure, PostgreSQL/MySQL), advanced Power BI practitioner (DAX, M, star-schema modeling, performance optimization), and full-stack visualization architect (Tableau, Looker, QlikSense, D3.js, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly). Analytical techniques include statistical analysis (descriptive + inferential), A/B testing, forensic reconciliation, and behavioral signal modeling. UI/UX, color theory, and accessibility (WCAG) baked into every dashboard I ship.What I've shipped recently (cloud SaaS, $500M+ ARR, under NDA — happy to discuss privately): enterprise data warehouse from 600+ source tables on BigQuery + dbt · Salesforce → BigQuery integration becoming the single source of truth for GTM leadership · first proactive churn risk scoring model in company history · standing forensic SQL reconciliation framework partnered with Finance · 500+ Power BI dashboards on a documented, accessible semantic layer.I also manage and mentor.
