Practice
The craft sits between systems and story.
Data flow
SQL, Alteryx, Fabric, and warehouse patterns that make reporting pipelines inspectable and repeatable.
Practical AI
Copilot, agents, RAG, and generated narratives added where they speed up analysis without removing review.
Presentation craft
Visual hierarchy, type, and interaction patterns shaped for leaders who need the answer quickly.
Selected work
Real artifacts, not decoration.
Method
Calm systems are designed before they are built.
The strongest analytics work feels inevitable because the messy parts have already been made legible.
01
Find the question
Start with the decision, audience, cadence, and owner before choosing a model or visual.
02
Make it defensible
Shape data, definitions, controls, and access so teams can trust the same answer.
03
Remove the manual drag
Automate recurring effort with pipelines, apps, and workflows that people can inspect.
04
Add intelligence carefully
Use AI to explain, draft, and accelerate while keeping judgment and review in the loop.
Next
Bring clarity to the next complex system.
I help teams modernize BI, sharpen executive reporting, and turn automation or AI ideas into practical analytics workflows.
