About Me
I help FTSE 100 organisations turn fragmented data into platforms that save millions
From Factory Floors to FTSE 100 Data Platforms
I help FTSE 100 organisations turn fragmented data into unified platforms that save six to seven figures a year. I lead a specialist team spanning cloud architecture, data engineering, and machine learning. My clients include leaders in consumer health and pharma. I take on a small number of engagements each year so every client gets my direct, hands-on involvement from architecture through delivery.
My Professional Journey
How a passion for turning data into clarity led me from the factory floor to leading enterprise transformations
Quality Engineer
My journey began on the factory floor at Baxter, where I discovered something profound: raw data hides untapped insights. Using statistical modeling to solve quality problems, I learned that every number tells a story - and understanding those stories creates better decisions. This experience planted the seed for my passion: transforming data into clarity.
Senior Consultant, Head of Data Engineering & Architecture
Starting as a data analyst and progressing through data science and engineering leadership, I now lead the data engineering and architecture practice. I set technical direction across engagements, architect platforms for FTSE 100 clients, and build the high-talent-density teams that deliver them. The through-line from factory floor to boardroom: every number tells a story, and engineering should serve that story.
