Projects

Axiomatic BI Showcase (2026)

• Designed and implemented a public technical showcase to demonstrate evidence-backed data engineering delivery patterns.
• Built case study structure around reproducibility, model decisions, data quality controls, and trade-off transparency.
• Implemented static Astro delivery for GitHub Pages with reusable page layouts and low-JavaScript design.

Fake Store reference build

• Demonstrated a repeatable ingestion-to-reporting path with clear separation between runtime pipeline logic and BI outputs.
• Implemented structured modelling and governed reporting patterns documented with architecture, evidence links, and reproducibility commands.
• Published implementation artefacts across engine code, dbt model contracts, and BI outputs to support verifiable claims.

Work experience

Tugger Ltd - BI Product Developer (Aug 2025 - Present)

• Architected centralised semantic layers (“Golden Models”), improving consistency, maintainability, and report performance across datasets.
• Designed and prototyped an AI-enabled semantic query layer, exposing governed metrics via API-driven SQL generation for consistent, accurate querying.
• Engineered structured transformation layers (DuckDB + SQL), standardising raw data into scalable fact/dimension models (star/galaxy schema).
