Profile
Data leader with 15+ years across six industries, from telecoms and insurance to consulting and transport. Deep technical skills in Azure, Power Platform, Python and SQL paired with a CPA qualification and postgraduate studies in Information Governance. Twenty certifications aren't a flex, they're proof I never stop learning. Nine companies aren't job-hopping, they're proof I adapt fast and deliver everywhere I land.
