Most companies already have data. What they often lack is a reliable system that turns that data into something consistent, accurate, and usable across the business. I help companies move from fragmented data and manual reporting to structured analytics systems by building pipelines, defining metrics, and creating scalable data models that teams can actually trust. Whether you're trying to understand revenue performance, customer behavior, marketing ROI, or operational efficiency, I focus on making sure your data is not just available, but clean, well-modeled, and decision-ready. With 3+ years of experience in data analytics and business intelligence, I now work at the intersection of analytics and data engineering: building modern data workflows using tools like dbt, SQL, and cloud data warehouses.

I build the reporting infrastructure that marketing agencies and growth-focused teams use to make faster, more confident budget decisions. When you're managing significant ad spend across multiple channels, disconnected data is expensive. Ads, GA4, CRM, and payment systems each tell a different story, and reconciling them manually burns analyst hours and delays the decisions that matter. I design and build unified data systems that consolidate everything into one reliable source of truth, so your team stops debating numbers and starts acting on them. Clients use these systems to track MER, ROAS, CAC, LTV, and channel performance in one place — without the spreadsheet overhead. RESULTS - Scaled a marketing analytics stack for a SaaS team managing ad spend from $20K to $1.2M per month - Reduced manual reporting time by 90% for a marketing agency - Improved marketing budget efficiency by 25% for an ecommerce brand - Increased conversion accuracy by consolidating attribution across Ads, GA4, and CRM data WHAT I BUILD - Data pipelines that unify Ads, GA4, CRM, and revenue data into a single queryable source - Looker Studio and Power BI dashboards for marketing performance and leadership reporting - Automated reporting systems that eliminate manual spreadsheet work - Clean, structured datasets built for budget decisions and client reporting CORE STACK BigQuery, SQL, Looker Studio, Power BI, GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, ETL pipelines, data modelling If your reporting infrastructure isn't keeping pace with your growth, send a message and let's talk about what a reliable system looks like for your setup.
