I’m a data and analytics architect with 18 years of experience turning messy business problems into analytical systems that actually work in production. Most of my career has been inside a major integrated oil and gas company, where I’ve designed platforms across the subsurface, operations, and maintenance domains — and seen them through from first whiteboard to handover. I work across the full stack: cloud infrastructure, data engineering, security design, and the stakeholder conversations that tie it all together.
