I am an experienced Data and Technology Professional with long tenure in Data Engineering, Analytics and Business intelligence.Recently, I co-founded Datafarer, a boutique data engineering consulting company, with a focus on niche and novelty areas. In the past, I have worked in major Retail and Financial companies, across technical and managerial roles. I have delivered many high-impact analytic solutions to increase revenue and improve process and profitability. I have had the privilege of spearheading transformative initiatives that drive technological innovation and optimize return on investment (ROI). My expertise lies in the realm of Fintech solutions, where I have consistently delivered high-impact analytical solutions to enhance business performance. By partnering with businesses, I have consistently delivered technology solutions that not only generate competitiveness but also accelerate growth.I have an innate curiosity and a penchant for deep intellectual exploration, continuously seeking to cultivate a polymath mindset. While my professional pursuits lie within the realms of numbers and technology (STEM, by what is known today), I possess an affinity for subjects encompassing History, Art, Philosophy, and Psychology - what I affectionately term the 'HAPPy stream. I harness diverse cognitive skills to navigate through a broad spectrum, encompassing critical, logical, rational, creative, convergent, divergent, intuitive, and counterintuitive thinking. I focus on understanding various perspectives, biases, dissecting chronological contexts, and synthesizing information. By blending analytical depth with exploratory curiosity, I strive to cultivate a nuanced comprehension of each topic, constantly challenging assumptions and seeking novel insights. As thoughts come and go in fleeting ripples, only to fade away over time, I've made it a point to scribble my musings and perspectives on my personal blog hosted on Substack. I am not much of a writer, and primarily write for myself, so reading some of these might be a bit rough and bumpy.
