About

With over 15 years of technical expertise in the financial sector, I bridge the gap between complex database architecture and strategic business outcomes. Currently serving as a Product Owner and DBA Team Lead at BDC, my mission is to transform technical departments into "well-oiled machines" that prioritize reliability, scalability, and speed to market. I specialize in Operational Excellence—streamlining workflows, automating manual processes, and ensuring that our data infrastructure is a robust foundation for organizational growth. As a Team Lead, I am passionate about mentoring technical talent and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. What I bring to the table: Strategic Leadership: Aligning technical roadmaps with business goals through effective Product Ownership and stakeholder management. Operational Rigor: Optimizing system performance and stability to ensure zero-bottleneck environments for development and analytics. Team Empowerment: Building and leading cross-functional teams that deliver high-value results in fast-paced, regulated industries.
