Hello!

I'm a hands-on project manager with 16 years of experience in Banking, working with projects in Financing, Customer Analytics, Data Warehousing, Treasury, Risk, and Regulatory Reporting.

Download my CV here.

I have helped big international banks, mid-sized banks, savings banks, and specialized banks with diverse topics. I’m at my best in a project where data is refined into something useful. Project management, data architecture design (especially data mesh), data analysis, data modeling, data engineering, and system integration are very familiar activities.

As a goal-oriented person I take pride in delivering complex projects – just ask any of the steering groups of my previous projects. Technical project staff appreciate my technical understanding, while business-oriented stakeholders appreciate my ability to communicate clearly and understandably. I genuinely believe that implementing BCBS239 principles make the data architecture cooler, and improve the day-to-day lives of employees.

I am excited about AI and continously adopting AI tools into my team’s workflow.

Have a look at my GitHub page for hobby projects.
