Paul Taiwo-Adeyemo

Analytics Engineer | Data Engineer | BI & Analytics | Educator

Analytics engineer with 5+ years turning ambiguous business questions into analytics-ready data models, KPI frameworks, and executive dashboards. I own the semantic layer end to end: metric definitions, business logic, and the reporting tables behind them, in SQL, dbt, Looker, and Tableau. I partner with Finance, Operations, Risk, Product, and leadership, and hold analytics code to software engineering standards with version control, CI/CD, and code review.

Experience

Data Engineer II, Analytics Engineering, Paramount Commerce

Calgary, AB

October 2022 to Present

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.
