About

Business-to-tech bridge: decisions first, systems that last.

I moved from sales leadership into AI-powered analytics, so I map business expectations to intelligent technical solutions instinctively. I ship end‑to‑end: intelligent data ingestion, ML models, AI-enhanced semantic layers, and the last mile in intelligent dashboards — leveraging AI tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, Copilot, and platform-specific AI features.

Focus areas: AI-first data strategy, intelligent semantic models and governance, predictive analytics, RLS and access patterns, performance and cost optimization, and seamless handoffs between engineering and analysts across OCI, AWS, and Azure with AI/ML integration.
