Profile

Data leadership with hands-on delivery experience

I design and deliver modern data platforms that help teams move faster, reduce risk, and unlock measurable business value.

I’m a senior data architect and principal data engineer with deep expertise across insurance, financial services, pensions, and regulated enterprise environments.

My work has centred on building scalable Azure and Databricks platforms, simplifying fragmented estates, and modernising legacy systems without breaking business continuity.
