About me

I started with a simple question: why do so many data systems fail the people who rely on them?

That question led me into data engineering designing pipelines, building platforms, creating the reporting layers that help teams make better decisions. I am early in my career(almost 2 years of Experience), but I have already worked across cloud infrastructure, ML systems, NLP and insurance data, and every project has taught me something new about what data is really for.

Right now I work in motor and property insurance, building pricing intelligence tools and financial reporting systems. It is a complex domain and I enjoy that complexity. But I am genuinely curious about what comes next new industries, new data problems, new ways to make systems that actually work for the people using them.
