⚡ I build data warehouses that run faster and cost less. One client went from a $4,000 monthly bill to $40, with query times dropping from 84 hours to 2.
I help SaaS companies, agencies, and data-heavy startups move off slow, expensive setups and onto Snowflake, BigQuery, and dbt pipelines they can actually trust.
𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝:
▸ Migrated 250 million records from PostgreSQL to Snowflake for a B2B data platform. Monthly cost fell from $4,000 to $40, query time from 84 hours to 2.
▸ Built the dbt and Snowflake pipeline behind an influencer dashboard serving Nike, Under Armour, and New Balance. Adding New Balance lifted annual revenue by $1.8M.
▸ Rebuilt the reporting layer for a coaching platform with 100,000 users, taking dashboard
refresh from 4 to 6 hours down to near real time.
▸ Scraped 10,000+ restaurant outlets across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub at over 98% success rate, feeding clean order data into BigQuery.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫:
✔ ETL and ELT pipelines (Python, SQL)
✔ Cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
✔ Data migration and data modelling
✔ dbt transformations and Airflow orchestration
✔ Data ingestion (Fivetran, API integration)
✔ Web scraping and data extraction at scale (10,000+ sources, 98%+ success)
✔ Cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, S3, Lambda)
✔ Analytics and BI-ready datasets
I'm a Google Certified Professional Data Engineer with a master's from Georgia Tech and 8+ years across these stacks.
If your warehouse is slow or your bill keeps climbing, send me your current setup and I'll send back a FREE audit showing where the cost and time are going, and what I'd change first.

Fractional CFO | Fundraising Advisor | VC Partner | Financial Modeling
I help founders, CEOs and business owners build investor-ready financial systems, raise capital, improve cash flow, and make better decisions using clear financial models, reporting, and strategy.
I bring 10+ years of experience as a Fractional CFO, startup founder, Chartered Accountant, former VC Partner, and World Bank startup finance advisor. I have helped companies raise $20M+ in funding, raised approximately $3M for my own company, reviewed hundreds of startup financial models and pitch decks, and worked with businesses across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Vietnam and Pakistan.
My work is hands-on, commercial and practical. I do not just build spreadsheets. I help you understand the numbers, prepare for investors, manage cash, improve margins, and make the business financially stronger.
Clients usually come to me when they need:
✅ A financial model that investors, banks or boards can actually understand
✅ A Fractional CFO who can turn messy numbers into clear decisions
✅ Fundraising support from someone who has sat on both sides of the table
✅ Investor readiness, pitch deck financials, valuation, and mock investor Q&A
✅ Monthly reporting, cash flow forecasting, board packs, and KPI dashboards
✅ Better visibility on margins, pricing, burn, runway, CAC, LTV and unit economics
✅ A finance partner who understands startups, SMEs, healthcare, SaaS, AI, marketplaces, VC and growth companies
My background highlights:
⭐ Co-founder of Metric, a finance and AI company used by 130,000+ businesses globally
⭐ Raised approximately $3M for my own company
⭐ Helped clients raise $20M+ through financial models, investor materials and fundraising strategy
⭐ Former Partner in Venture Capital, involved in startup investment decisions and portfolio support
⭐ World Bank startup ecosystem and investor readiness advisor
⭐ Conducted mock investor sessions and fundraising preparation for many startups
⭐ Worked as Fractional CFO for healthcare, healthtech, SaaS, AI, consumer and service businesses, nonprofits, accelerators and investment-backed companies
I can help with:
✔ Fractional CFO support
✔ Fundraising strategy
✔ Financial modeling
✔ Investor-ready forecasts
✔ Pitch deck financials
✔ Valuation support
✔ Startup financial models
✔ SaaS metrics and unit economics
✔ Cash flow forecasting
✔ 13-week cash flow models
✔ Budgeting and forecasting
✔ Monthly management reporting
✔ Board reporting packs
✔ Investor reporting
✔ KPI dashboards
✔ Business plan financials
✔ Scenario analysis
✔ Pricing and margin analysis
✔ Cost optimization
✔ Due diligence preparation
✔ M&A support
Fundraising and investor readiness:
I help founders prepare for real investor conversations. This includes financial models, pitch deck financials, use of funds, valuation logic, fundraising strategy, investor Q&A preparation, data room readiness, and mock investor sessions.
My background gives me a practical advantage. I have raised funding as a founder, advised companies as a Fractional CFO, trained startups through World Bank-backed programs, and evaluated companies as a VC Partner. I know what investors look for, where founders usually lose credibility, and how to make the financial story clear, defensible and compelling.
My mission:
To help founders and business owners make better financial decisions, raise capital with confidence, and build companies with stronger financial foundations.
If you need someone who can work across financial modeling, CFO support, fundraising, investor communication and business strategy, I can help.
