About Me
Data professional, problem solver, life-long learner.
Level 7 Information Systems professional with 4+ years building ETL pipelines, cloud data integrations, and automation systems — from a multi-million-pound modernisation programme at Capgemini to a Python scheduling model that cut manual effort by 90% at Compass Group. Experienced across the full data lifecycle: ingestion, transformation, warehousing, and BI delivery, with a growing track record in GenAI and RAG-based systems. MSc Information Systems, University of Sheffield.
I've delivered cloud-native ETL migrations (PowerCenter → IICS), cut data load times by 50%, and built a Python scheduling model that reduced manual effort by 90%. Lately my focus has shifted to GenAI and RAG-based systems — including a financial-intelligence chatbot grounded on SEC 10-K filings.
