4+ years delivering production data platforms across Databricks, Snowflake, ADF, and Azure SQL. I turn complex data challenges into simple, high-impact outcomes — from medallion lakehouses and SCD Type 2 pipelines to dbt-driven transformations.
Microsoft Certified Data Engineer specialising in cloud-based ETL workflows, scalable data pipelines, and turning data into business insight. Here's how the story unfolded — pick a chapter.
“Turning pricing-factor data into curated datasets and cutting onboarding time from four days to one.”
Today, at Hastings Direct, I work on the Underwriting Data Engineering team. I build pipelines to ingest, transform, and load pricing-factor data into the curated layer, making it ready to support pricing decisions. My biggest win has been automating repetitive manual tasks to reduce pricing-factor onboarding time from four days to one — a 75% reduction. I was also awarded Best Newcomer for my contribution to the team.

A constellation of tools I use to design, build and ship data products at scale.
03 / Selected work
Each one shipped with measurable outcomes — speed, scale, or accuracy.
End-to-end medallion pipeline orchestrated in Azure Data Factory, refining raw data through bronze, silver, and gold layers. Lookups and Get Metadata activities drive metadata-driven ingestion, with Power BI delivering real-time insights on top of Synapse.
Computer-vision system detecting worksite activities in real time. YOLOv9 handles object detection while a CNN-LSTM classifies activity sequences — enabling safety compliance monitoring at 96% accuracy.
Cross-asset analytics across 3M+ policies.
Unified bike, van, car and home insurance data into a cross-asset analytics layer. Built ADF + dbt pipelines, extended 50+ tables, and automated CI/CD via Azure DevOps to support agile delivery for the analytics team.
