Profile

For over 15 years, I have turned raw data into decisions. I cover the data chain end-to-end: from the business need to the data visualisation, through governance, architecture and integration.

Now Data Manager at a public-transport operator, I lead a data team, deploy a Microsoft Fabric platform and structure data governance (DataGalaxy, MDM). My background — consulting, pharma, energy (Enedis), social housing — taught me to integrate quickly into any context.

Preferred stack: Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Talend Cloud, Tableau Software, Power BI. I value rigour as much as the creative side of data visualisation; I am currently training in generative AI and RAG.
