I turn ambiguous business problems into measurable analytics and decision systems — from SQL-backed reporting and executive dashboards to workflow automation, predictive analytics, and evidence-grounded AI products.

Professional Experience
Operational analytics, enterprise reporting, business intelligence, and AI-assisted decision systems.
Nov 2025 — Present · Independent Analytics & AI ProjectsDecision Systems, Product Analytics & Sports AnalyticsIndependent
- Built SwapOpt, a local-first career decision system that compares job opportunities against verified candidate evidence and preserves hard rules such as missing evidence = UNKNOWN, scheduled interview ≠ occurred interview, accepted offer ≠ placement, and no autonomous application submission.
- Built the FPL Decision Engine as a local-first football decision-support system: Official FPL data and squad rules, LiveFPL rank/effective-ownership context, AI-assisted proposals and deterministic validation of transfer, budget, lineup and captaincy constraints. The public portfolio contains curated historical source and documentation, not the full later private runtime.
- Designed a human–AI research workflow around initial beliefs, model suggestions, manager choices and eventual outcomes to investigate decision quality, confidence and bias. Causal findings and improvements in FPL rank have not been established.
- Built the FIFA World Cup 2026 Sponsorship Analytics Platform with Python ETL, Snowflake, SQL, Power BI, Streamlit and OpenAI for sponsorship-market analysis and conversational analytics.

- Translated homeowner intake, contractor matching, incentives, and project workflows into KPI definitions and dashboard requirements.
- Automated SQL-driven reporting and sustainability KPI workflows, reducing manual processing effort by 25%.
- Optimized MySQL reporting datasets and reusable BI logic for self-service analytics.
Nov 2022 — Jun 2023 · Data Analyst IIEnterprise BI, KPI Reporting & ETL AutomationAccenture
- Built SQL and Power BI KPI dashboards for recurring operational reporting.
- Automated ETL/reporting pipelines with scheduling, retries, alerts, and QA checks, saving 60+ hours per month.
- Standardized KPI definitions, mappings, validation rules, and reporting documentation.
Feb 2021 — Nov 2022 · Data Analyst ISQL Performance, ERP Data & Reporting ReliabilityAccenture
- Optimized high-volume SQL using indexing, partitioning, CTE refactors, and window functions, reducing execution time by 15%.
- Integrated SAP HANA/BW, ERP, and source-system data into reporting layers, improving workflow efficiency by 35%.
- Reconciled ERP, SQL, and reporting-layer data to improve accuracy and reduce discrepancies.

Selected Projects
From business intelligence and automation to AI-assisted decision systems and sports analytics. These projects show how I frame problems, work with evidence and turn ideas into practical tools.
SwapOpt — AI Career Operating System
Local-first career decision system built around a different question: not “how fast can I apply?” but “does this opportunity deserve my effort?” It connects opportunity discovery, verified Candidate Identity, structured Role Identity, truthful application workflows, explicit interview/offer lifecycle, Network DNA, market intelligence, and outcome learning.
Final private-runtime release: 3,244 / 3,244 automated tests · 24 modules · 257 validated paths · manual browser/runtime acceptance.
Build model: AI-assisted development with primary ownership of product requirements, workflow design, system logic, validation, debugging, and release execution.

The question: A player can be a great pick on paper without being the right transfer for your actual team. I built a local-first decision-support workflow to compare HOLD, transfers, captaincy and team choices using football evidence, available budget, existing players and the cost of alternatives.
Official FPL is authoritative for squad state and scoring; LiveFPL supplies projected-rank and effective-ownership context. The AI proposes options, while deterministic checks assess squad, club, budget, lineup and captaincy constraints. Real transfers are never automated.
Research direction: How do AI suggestions affect a manager's initial judgment, confidence and choices? The evaluation design is public; improved FPL rank or causal effects are not yet demonstrated.
Public release: curated historical V4.1.2 source, architecture and a synthetic decision walkthrough. The newer private Windows runtime and personal FPL data are not published.

Open to conversations around analytics, business intelligence, data products, sports analytics research, and AI-assisted decision systems.
Business Problems → Measurable Analytics → Better Decisions
My strongest work sits where business context, reporting, data quality, automation, and decision support intersect. SwapOpt is the clearest example of how I structure an ambiguous problem into an evidence-backed system.
