My personal story - Oil to Data

From High-Pressure Wellbores to High-Value Data Pipelines

 

My career path is defined by a strategic transition built on data-driven decision-making. For 15 years in the Oil & Gas Upstream sector, I operated as a Drilling Specialist, a role where the ability to analyze high-volume sensor data and engineering models in real-time was non-negotiable. This experience instilled in me an unparalleled appreciation for data governance, operational risk management, and the crucial skill of translating raw, complex metrics into immediate, high-stakes decisions.

The Strategic Pivot: Data Mastery in the UK

 

Upon relocating to the UK, I recognized that my deep domain expertise—the foundational knowledge of how a business truly operates—was my greatest asset. I dedicated myself to marrying this operational wisdom with the most powerful analytical tools available.

I systematically mastered the full data analytics stack:

  • SQL and Snowflake: For robust data modeling, cleaning, and scalable ELT pipelines.

  • Python (Pandas, NumPy): For advanced data manipulation and in-depth statistical analysis.

  • Power BI and Tableau: For developing dynamic dashboards and compelling data storytelling.

My portfolio is a testament to this transition, showcasing my end-to-end capabilities, from Star Schema development to delivering strategic recommendations that drive cost management and efficiency.

I am passionate about leveraging data to simplify complexity and drive smarter decisions for businesses ready for innovation.
