PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
Experience Building Enterprise Data Platforms and Analytics Capabilities
End-to-End Data Leader
With more than 15 years of experience across Data Analytics, Engineering and Architecture, I combine hands-on technical expertise with team leadership, stakeholder management and business-focused delivery.
My career has evolved alongside the data industry, from traditional Business Intelligence and Enterprise Data Warehousing, through distributed Big Data ecosystems using Hadoop, Hive and Elasticsearch, to modern Cloud Data Platforms and Lakehouse architectures based on Azure, Databricks, Delta Lake, Python, PySpark, SQL and Power BI.
Throughout this journey, I have designed, integrated and modernized complete data ecosystems, covering ingestion, transformation, orchestration, quality, governance, security, performance optimization and analytics delivery.
Experience Across Different Environments
My experience spans large enterprises, consulting engagements, international banking and retail projects, digital businesses and technology startups. This diversity allows me to operate effectively in regulated corporate environments as well as fast-moving organizations requiring flexibility, ownership and rapid delivery.
Leadership Beyond Technology
Beyond hands-on engineering, I have led multidisciplinary data teams, mentored engineers and analysts, established architecture and delivery standards, and acted as a primary technical partner for clients and business stakeholders. My experience in solution scoping, product development and commercial discussions helps me connect data strategy, technology, people and business outcomes.
