I help large, highly regulated organizations turn messy data problems into secure, working cloud systems, and bring people along for the ride.
I'm a data and AI consultant with 15 years spanning software engineering, data engineering, and solution architecture. I help organizations work out what their data should actually do for the business, then design and build the secure, well-governed systems that get them there.
I build enterprise data platforms from the ground up, migrate legacy and on-prem data warehouses into the cloud, and stand up self-serve analytics that open data up across the broader organization. I work hands-on across data engineering, data architecture, and data governance, and design for the strict security and compliance that regulated environments demand. I also enable the teams behind these platforms, training data professionals to run and build on them themselves.
Deliver professional services to Microsoft Fabric customers as their lead technical advisor. I run discovery and high-impact proofs of concept, shape long-term platform roadmaps, and guide projects end to end, from initial workshops through architecture, migration, and delivery, working closely with lead architects and senior leadership in highly regulated environments.
Built a next-generation data platform on Azure Databricks serving thousands of employees. Architected the full stack (networking, identity, high availability, CI/CD) and took it through security accreditation at the PBMM level (ITSG-33 / NIST 800-53).
Built zero-to-one research prototypes in network automation, intent-based networking, and SD-WAN, several of which fed into commercial products. One delivered operational intelligence through a real-time streaming application.
Applied data science research using NLP to study business ecosystems, building end-to-end Python pipelines for crawling, preprocessing, modeling, and visualization.
Delivered telecom policy-control (PCRF) solutions for Tier-1 and Tier-2 carriers, covering interoperability, upgrades, and solution design. Also built production features in Java EE, including an early prototype of a smart plan builder.
