I’m a senior Project Manager and a former data delivery lead with over 10 years of experience delivering data and analytics initiatives for global, distributed teams. I specialize in leading data engineering projects and supporting teams working on data pipelines, integrations, and analytics platforms. I hold an MSc in Enterprise Systems Integration and Data Warehousing, along with Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) credentials, which gives me a strong technical foundation in databases, data modeling, SQL, and enterprise data architectures. This allows me to effectively bridge technical teams and business stakeholders while keeping delivery practical and outcome-focused. I work hands-on with data engineers to translate discussions into clear tasks, maintain simple and realistic roadmaps, and run lightweight agile ceremonies where they add value. I’m comfortable managing projects involving ETL/ELT pipelines, APIs, data warehousing, data quality monitoring, and system integrations. Clients value my ability to bring structure and clarity to complex data work, communicate progress clearly, and keep projects moving without unnecessary process or overhead, especially in remote, fast-moving environments.
