With over a decade of experience in data engineering, I lead the BI Engineering team at the Financial Times, one of the world's leading news organizations. My mission is to drive transformative change and deliver actionable insights, using cutting-edge tools and technologies and employing advanced ETL techniques. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, analysts, and stakeholders, to translate business needs into effective data solutions. I also mentor and guide junior data engineers, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and growth. In addition, I shape the architecture and strategy that underpins mission-critical projects, aligning with both current and future needs. My proficiency spans multiple relational and columnar databases, coupled with adeptness in diverse data integration and visualization tools.
