About Me

Results-driven BI Data Engineer with a strong foundation in analytics, data modeling, and business intelligence infrastructure. I specialize in designing and implementing data pipelines using Rivery, Snowflake, and DBT Cloud, enabling scalable and efficient data transformation workflows. With a deep understanding of data models and dashboard development, I bridge the gap between raw data and actionable business insights. Proficient in using Sisense (Elasticubes and Live models), Power BI, and Excel for compelling visualizations, and in automating workflows using Python and SQL, I drive measurable improvements in performance and revenue optimization across the business.
