About

I am an IC Tech Lead and BI Architect transforming how organizations leverage data. Specializing in Tableau at an enterprise scale, I move beyond simple dashboarding to build comprehensive analytics ecosystems. My focus is on governance, adoption, and creating 'Full Stack Analytics' cultures where data engineering and visualization meet to drive executive decision-making.

Beyond the Data

Indie Game Dev

Fascinated by world building — using Godot and Python as a sandbox to master new technical skills and bring virtual systems to life.

Linux & Home Lab

Running CachyOS and obsessing over terminal efficiency. Treating the development environment like a product — constantly optimizing and ricing for speed.

Music

A classically trained violinist recently picking up the guitar — applying years of music theory to a completely new physical discipline.

Cooking

The other kind of full-stack. The process of mise-en-place and the immediate feedback loop of creating a great meal for the family.
