Experience

Building governed data models, semantic layers, forecasting systems, and BI for a Canadian fintech and payments company.

• Own the analytics semantic layer: KPI definitions and governed business logic for revenue, transaction, merchant, and profitability reporting, plus the executive dashboards leadership uses to track performance.
• Design and maintain layered dbt models on BigQuery and Snowflake that integrate Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, and Kafka payment events into analytics-ready reporting tables with documented grains, tests, and lineage.
• Led the Tableau-to-Looker migration of 200+ reports, building a governed LookML semantic layer, improving critical report load times by 85%+ and reducing Tableau Cloud storage by 30%.
• Automated recurring finance, revenue, and executive reporting, reducing manual effort by over 90%.
• Partnered with FP&A to productionize a revenue and transaction forecasting pipeline in Python, SQL, dbt, and Airflow, containerized with Docker and Kubernetes, with 97-98% forecast accuracy.
• Built bank partner scorecards and presented findings to the C-suite steering committee to inform partner decisions.
• Built an internal LLM-powered assistant over company data, delivered through Slack, reducing ad hoc data requests by over 50%.
• Owned data validation and logic standardization through the AWS-to-GCP migration, reconciling migrated datasets and reporting outputs.
• Hold the quality bar with automated dbt tests, reconciliation frameworks, lineage, and SOX-aligned controls, including audit reports used by external auditors.
• Monitor pipeline health and expensive BigQuery workloads in Datadog and Grafana, and led Metabase adoption plus Looker training across business teams.

I teach data analytics and data science courses at SAIT, including SQL, Python, forecasting, and BI.
