Profil

  • I build data and AI solutions. I fi x programmes that aren't landing.
  • I architect and build data platforms on Microsoft Fabric, Databricks and Snowfl ake: medallion lakehouseswith dimensional warehouse design, data marts and semantic models, built myself or with the client'sengineering team, and handed over with architecture and operations guides.

  • I also build AI data products directly into analytics platforms, applying lakehouse architecture, dataengineering and privacy principles to RAG: chunking, embedding and governed retrieval. Alongside that, Ibuild human-in-the-loop agent workfl ows around business processes with clear ROI.
  • 25 years of software engineering, data architecture, data engineering and the restructuring of data andanalytics divisions, across Sydney, London and Munich.
