Open to senior analytics, operations & AI enablement roles

I build the systems businesses actually run on.

Turning messy operational reality into measured outcomes — global retail analytics at NielsenIQ, then rebuilding an entire business on automation and applied AI. I don't ship slideware. I ship the thing, then I measure what changed.

The work

Three problems.
Three measurable answers.

Every number here has a system behind it that someone still uses today. That is the only standard I hold work to.

70%

Manual work, removed

Billing and inventory ran on paper and memory. I instrumented a baseline first, automated the highest-cost processes, then measured the delta rather than asserting it. Month-end went from a scramble to audit-ready.

100%

Delivery that never slipped

Multi-market retail analytics for international FMCG accounts across North America, Europe and APAC. Concurrent multi-million-dollar contracts, sustained 95% CSAT, and a full cloud migration with zero client escalations.

0

Cloud dependency for private data

Built a retrieval system over internal documents running entirely on local models — a deliberate cost, privacy and latency trade-off against hosted APIs. Staff query SOPs and vendor terms in plain language; nothing leaves the building.

The path

From engineering rigour to operating systems.

Mechanical engineering taught me to model before building. Analytics taught me that the hardest part is agreeing what the number means. Operations taught me that neither matters unless someone actually uses it.

Claims are cheap. These are public, and the code is there to read.

Billing & inventory automation

The system behind the 70% figure. Scripted validation and reporting over a SQLite store, replacing a manual paper process and eliminating a recurring class of transcription errors.

Robotic wheel replacement

Final-year capstone: an automated mechanical handling concept designed to cut manual intervention and turnaround time. Mechanism design, functional reasoning and full technical documentation.

Ask me about it
How I work

Four habits that survive contact with reality.

I use AI tools heavily and I'm precise about where they help and where they don't. That distinction is the job.

01

Baseline before building

A number you didn't measure before the change isn't an outcome, it's a story. I instrument first so the delta is defensible when someone senior pushes back on it.

02

Adoption is the only metric

A system nobody uses is a hobby. I train, document, and iterate against real objections from non-technical staff until the thing is genuinely in daily use.

03

Verify what the model says

I build with AI daily. I also know exactly where it produces confident nonsense — and I design the verification step before I trust the output on anything workflow-critical.

04

Translate in both directions

Most delivery failures are definitional, not technical. Years of sitting between clients, delivery teams and engineering taught me to fix the disagreement before writing the query.

Let's talk

If you're hiring for the gap between data and done — that's my job.

I'm looking for senior analytics, operations, or AI enablement work where ownership is real and the outcome is measurable. If that's the role you're filling, I'd like to hear about it.
