About me
The trail-finder.

When I'm not wrangling data pipelines, I'm on a trail somewhere — trekking, exploring new places, collecting "this is definitely the wrong path" stories. The outdoors is where I reset.

Turns out navigating mountain terrain and navigating legacy data systems require exactly the same skill: stay calm, read the map, and never stop moving forward.

I've spent 10 years helping some of the world's biggest organizations — KPMG, Morgan Stanley, Amgen, Barclays — make their data trusted, governed, and actually useful.

Trekking
Peaks are just milestones with better views. Always planning the next trail — the harder, the better.

Exploring new places
Every city is a new dataset. I love finding the patterns locals already know — the good coffee, the hidden trail, the real neighbourhood.

Adventure seeker
The outdoors keeps me grounded — literally. It's also the best antidote to eight hours of data pipelines.
Fun facts
GPA 4.0 in my Master's — and still found time to go outside.
I trust data over gut instinct, except when choosing which trail to take.
Led 5 data teams. None got lost. (Unlike me, occasionally, on trails.)
In every new city, I'm on a mission to find the best vegetarian food the place has to offer.
