๐ My Approach to Data Solutions
Full-Stack Data Capability
I work across the entire data value chain: building reliable data pipelines, performing analytical deep-dives, and creating business intelligence solutions. After 20 years in IT, I can spot a fragile data architecture from the requirements document.
Enterprise + Modern Tool Integration
With deep Microsoft ecosystem expertise (Azure, Power BI) and growing proficiency in modern open-source tools (PostgreSQL, dbt, Grafana), I bridge traditional enterprise approaches with current best practices. I choose PostgreSQL because I've debugged enough exotic databases at 2am.
Business-First Analytics
PowerBI gets enterprise adoption. Fancy custom dashboards get abandoned. I've seen thousand-dollar BI projects fail because teams chose trendy tools over proven ones. Banking taught me that 'good enough' beats 'perfect' every time.

๐ฏ Professional Interests
I'm passionate about the complete data lifecycle - from robust data engineering foundations to insightful analytics and compelling business intelligence. When enterprise data pipelines break at 3am, you learn what 'reliable' really means. Most 'modern data stack' implementations I see will be unmaintainable in 18 months.
Areas of focus: End-to-end data platform design, advanced analytics, dashboard architecture, and enterprise-grade security compliance.
Open to discussions about data strategy, full-stack data solutions, and helping companies avoid expensive data mistakes.
