Who I Am

Bridging Finance,
Data & Technology

I'm a Technology Risk Assurance Manager and digital transformation specialist, building data infrastructure that makes audits smarter, faster, and more reliable. My work sits at the intersection of financial systems, engineering, and analytics.

From architecting multi-ERP ETL pipelines to delivering executive Power BI dashboards for FTSE clients — I turn complex, messy financial data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence.

Previously at a Big Four global firm, where I led development of a global data transformation platform across 30+ client engagements worldwide.

💻
I Code
Full-stack data engineering — from C# desktop tools and .NET applications to Python ETL pipelines, SQL stored procedures, PySpark transformations, and XML/XSLT data mapping. I build production-grade tools, not just scripts.

I Analyse
Deep financial data analysis — variance analysis, reconciliation, data quality frameworks, KPI design, and forecasting models. I translate messy ERP extracts into audit-ready, governance-aligned intelligence that executives trust.

📊
I Visualise
Executive-grade Power BI dashboards, financial network graph visualisations, and interactive audit analytics. Microsoft PL-300 certified. I design visuals that make complex data instantly readable at board level.

I Secure
Security-first data engineering — AES + RSA encryption in transit, read-only ERP access, integrity hashing, and ISQM1-aligned audit trails. Every extraction tool I build treats data security as a first-class requirement.
