ELT pipelines, data architecture and decision-ready business intelligence for enterprise and SME clients.
I turn fragmented data into systems people can use, trust and build on. Over more than a decade, that has meant engineering ELT pipelines, reconciling multi-source schemas and delivering business intelligence for enterprise and SME clients. The aim is practical: less manual compilation, clearer decisions and an infrastructure whose behaviour can be explained.
The portfolio puts that approach in your hands. Explore a desktop and mobile workspace, inspect a file-system kernel, or watch a Tetris autopilot weigh possible moves. Alongside it are evidence-preserving data pipelines, archive readers and contact tools that keep the source intact while making it useful. I work from first principles and choose dependencies deliberately, with privacy, recovery and control built into the design.
My next direction is AI systems architecture: retrieval and intelligent workflows that can be evaluated and audited. The foundation is the same engineering discipline, now applied to systems whose outputs need more than a confident explanation. If you are building data infrastructure or hiring someone who can connect architecture, implementation and business outcomes, let’s talk.
