Summary

At Deloitte for over a decade, my journey from Senior BI Developer to Data Governance Manager has been marked by a deep engagement with Business Intelligence and Data Governance applications. Leveraging tools like Oracle, Erwin, and SAP, I have honed a specialized skill set in dimensional modeling, business model creation, and delivering comprehensive analytics solutions. My technical acumen is underpinned by an Oracle Business Intelligence certification and years of practical experience. Leadership roles in Enterprise Data Governance have seen me spearhead initiatives to meet stringent Privacy Policy compliance requirements, reflecting my commitment to data integrity and stewardship. My proficiency extends to master data management, where I have significantly contributed to the development of Application Data Dictionaries and data quality assessments. This expertise is complemented by a proven track record in OBIEE development, translating complex requirements into actionable BI strategies, and mentoring teams to elevate their technical capabilities.
