Role & responsibilities

I build and run data-heavy systems: decisioning, analytics, customer lifecycle, and reporting. Most of the job is between design and go-live — turn a requirement into something you can deploy, then keep it testable and observable in production.

Summary

Senior Data & MarTech Engineer, 8+ years. I've shipped and run data pipelines, real-time decisioning, reporting, and customer lifecycle work in fintech, retail, and telecom. Day to day: turn requirements into something deployable, then keep it testable and observable. Recent work includes 15+ analytics builds for a large bank and migrating five marketing flows off a legacy CRM to a new stack.

Experience

From analytics and finance reports into orchestration, live decisioning, martech, QA automation, and migration work — mostly banking, telecom, and retail.
