What I do

I've worked in data technologies for 12+ years, mostly in ETL: moving, shaping and delivering data, in close partnership with Business Intelligence (BI) teams and as a data analyst myself. I've worked on it from three sides: operations, platform and development.

I'm at my best when I can break a problem or a goal down and find a practical solution that's logical to build and gives a real advantage.
