Data & AI Solutions Specialist | Ontology Architect & Builder

About

I lead end-to-end data integration and analytics, converting raw project data into actionable insight for strategic decisions. I architect ontology-driven models—OWL/RDF schemas and knowledge graphs that unify siloed data into a single semantic layer for querying and reasoning. Alongside this, I design advanced Power BI dashboards and medallion-architecture pipelines (Bronze/Silver/Gold) that deliver real-time performance visibility to leadership while reducing manual effort and improving accuracy. I define and monitor KPIs for progress, schedule variance, and cost performance, and partner with cost, planning, and construction teams to align data structures and ontologies with business needs—ensuring semantic consistency across heterogeneous sources. I mentor junior analysts in data modeling, ontology engineering, EVM, and predictive forecasting, and deliver executive forecasting models for forward-looking decision support. Core strengths: 🧠 Ontology Design & Knowledge Graphs — Domain ontologies (OWL/RDF) and graph databases with natural-language SPARQL access. 🕸️ Semantic Data Modeling & Pipelines — Star-schema and graph models on medallion-architecture pipelines. 📊 Power BI | DAX | Python | SQL — Complex datasets transformed into decision-ready insight. 🔮 Forecasting & Predictive Analytics — Models that surface trends, risks, and cost/schedule deviations early. ⚙️ Dashboard Automation & Reporting — Automated workflows for real-time, high-accuracy reporting. 📐 Earned Value Management (EVM) — Project controls for cost-efficiency, schedule adherence, and progress. 🤖 AI Deployment & Generative AI — Enterprise AI adoption to automate routine work and free teams for strategic initiatives. 🤝 Cross-functional Collaboration — Aligning technical analytics with operational goals across planning, construction, finance, and leadership.
