Professional experience

Data work informed by the systems and people around it.

My experience connects operational data quality, enterprise systems, media asset management, automation, technical troubleshooting, and clear communication.

Privacy by design: descriptions of institutional work are intentionally sanitized. No student records, proprietary screenshots, internal exports, credentials, or identifiable operational data are published.

Working style

Reliable systems still need thoughtful human judgment.

I am most effective where technical work meets operational reality: messy records, interconnected tools, documented business rules, exceptions, and people who need clear answers rather than opaque automation.
