My Journey: From Data-Driven Insights to Full-Stack Solutions
I architect and build complex, enterprise-scale, end-to-end data solutions that solve core business challenges.
A Unique Generalist in a World of Specialists
My strength lies in bridging the critical gaps between data science, engineering, and cloud architecture.
In today's complex data landscape, seeing the full picture is a rare but crucial advantage. I've built my career on a generalist's approach, allowing me to architect comprehensive, robust solutions that others might miss. Currently, I'm diving deeper into the applications of Large Language Models to further streamline enterprise automation, focusing heavily on the governance and Responsible AI principles required for scalable deployment.

My Professional Evolution
The Foundation: Engineering & Quality
2018-2021 | Baxter International Inc.
My journey began not in a server room, but on the factory floor as a Supplier Quality Engineer. Here, I first learned to apply statistical modeling and data analysis to solve tangible problems, conducting product risk assessments and enhancing quality systems through data-driven decision-making. This experience instilled a foundational belief: data is the key to proactive problem-solving.
The Transition: From Data to Insights
2021-2022 | UPTITUDE (Data Analyst)
Driven by a passion for uncovering hidden patterns, I formally transitioned into the data world. As a Data Analyst, I honed my ability to perform complex analyses and create automated Power BI reports that delivered actionable insights directly to business stakeholders, improving data quality and integrity across the board.
The Growth: Engineering the Solutions
2022-2024 | UPTITUDE (Data Scientist)
I moved from analyzing data to building the systems that use it. I developed and deployed end-to-end ML models and engineered automated data pipelines for enterprise clients. It was here I developed a reputation for creating solutions that not only worked, but were scalable and user-friendly, often used by hundreds of people.
The Leadership: Architecting the Future
2024-Present | UPTITUDE (Senior Data Scientist & Lead)
Today, I lead a team of nine talented data engineers, driving strategic data architecture and orchestrating high-impact, client-facing projects from proposal to delivery. My role is to not only build, but to mentor, strategise, and ensure that our technical roadmaps are aligned with executive business objectives, delivering outcomes like a 75% reduction in manual reporting and unlocking six-figure cost savings.
What I Bring to Your Team
Strategic Architecture
I design and deliver end-to-end, enterprise-scale data solutions, not just isolated components. My work on a unified data warehouse for a client consolidated over 100 data sources, proving my ability to handle complexity.
Business Value Focus
Technology is a means to an end. I deliver quantifiable results, such as cutting operational costs by 30% and improving risk assessment capabilities by 40% through targeted data intelligence platforms.
Technical Leadership
I lead and mentor high-performing teams, fostering a culture of excellence and improving productivity by implementing Agile and DataOps principles.
My Leadership Philosophy
My leadership approach is centered on the principle of building high-talent-density teams. This concept, famously championed by leaders at companies like Netflix, is about creating small, elite teams of highly skilled and motivated individuals. The goal is to maximize impact and innovation, allowing us to deliver more with less.
A high-talent-density environment fosters a culture of excellence and accountability. By bringing together top performers, we create a self-reinforcing cycle of learning and achievement. This structure minimises bureaucracy and maximises individual autonomy, empowering each team member to take ownership and make a significant impact. Research and real-world examples show that such teams are not just more efficient; they are more creative and adaptable, capable of solving the most complex challenges.
I focus on hiring the best, providing them with the context and resources they need to succeed, and then trusting them to execute. This allows us to move faster, innovate more freely, and ultimately deliver superior results for the business.
