01Expertise

What I do.

01

Data Platforms

End-to-end platforms on Microsoft Fabric and dbt: medallion and Data Vault modelling, incremental loading, CI/CD across environments, and monitoring that alerts before the business notices.

02

Business-Ready Models

Semantic models, Power BI reports and data-quality worklists built with analysts and business users, so the numbers match how the business actually works.

03

AI in the Data Platform

Ontologies and data agents that answer business questions within security rules, and AI coding agents that speed up delivery behind reviews, tests and human-approved releases.
