Senior-led analytics engineering and AI-integrated consulting

Modern data delivery led by someone who still reads the code.

I help growing teams modernize data platforms, introduce AI responsibly, and ship work that fits the codebase they already own. Vendor-agnostic advice. Codebase-aware agents. Delivery that outlasts the contract.

Practical consulting for modern data teams.

Engagements are scoped to the real problem: senior analytics engineering, migration support, AI integration, and the operating patterns that make the work last.

AI agent integration

Set up agents that understand your repository, tests, and standards so generated work is reviewable, consistent, and actually useful.

Data platform migrations

Move legacy models and warehouse workloads to a modern platform without breaking reporting or forcing a risky big-bang cutover.

Analytics engineering

Build clean transformation layers, tests, and documentation that keep the data model understandable long after the project ends.

BI and reporting strategy

Align warehouse, metrics, and dashboards so decision-makers get trusted numbers without the usual rebuild churn.

Calm, specific, and built to last.

Every engagement, whether it's a migration, an analytics rebuild, or an AI integration, follows the same discipline: understand the system first, work within your constraints, and leave your team in control.

Understand before you change

I map the actual data flow, dependency chain, and technical debt before recommending a migration path or AI workflow. No assumptions, no generic playbooks.

Work with your stack, not against it

Platform and tooling advice stays grounded in what you already own. Vendor-agnostic means I pick what fits your team, budget, and roadmap, not a preferred certification stack.

AI agents tuned to your codebase

Agents learn your structure, standards, and guardrails before they touch production workflows, so generated work is reviewable and actually useful.

Leave your team in control

Documentation, tests, and structured handover are scoped in from day one. The goal is a team that can run, extend, and own the result without me.
