Leveraging two decades of expertise to transform complex data, modernize legacy systems, and build robust, scalable solutions for a data-driven future.

An accomplished IT professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience, my career has centered on data, specializing in modernizing legacy systems and architecting robust, scalable solutions. Starting with a foundation in Oracle PL/SQL, I’ve developed a passion for building high-performance, elegant systems. I've spent two decades transforming complex data for some of the biggest names in the business, consistently serving as a trusted advisor and technical leader.

My professional story is defined by a track record of success in large, complex transactional environments. I am particularly proud of projects where I took on significant challenges, such as re-engineering an entire suite of legacy COBOL programs into modern PL/SQL packages. This wasn't just a code migration; it was a deep dive into archaic business logic to build a solution that was more efficient and maintainable. I’ve also led and contributed to multiple large-scale data migrations, including a recent project involving over 3 million policies. My role encompassed developing proof-of-concepts, designing data frameworks, and implementing rigorous data reconciliation to ensure data integrity at every step.

My values are rooted in a belief that technology should be elegant, reliable, and efficient. This philosophy has guided my work, from fine-tuning batch processes to dramatically reduce overnight processing times to architecting scalable data ecosystems. My commitment to continuous learning is demonstrated by my proficiency in modern tools like Python (Pandas, NumPy) for data analysis, visualization and Machine Learning, and my Big Data & Hadoop Certification.

Beyond my professional pursuits, my passion for problem-solving extends into my personal life. I find joy in exploring new places, which fuels my curiosity. I believe a curious mind is an active mind, and I am always seeking new knowledge. The opportunity to see my work have a direct, tangible impact is what motivates me. The satisfaction of taking a complex problem, dissecting it with a logical mind, and building a clean, high-performance solution is the essence of my brand.
