About
Data Engineer with over four years of experience designing production-grade pipelines and cloud-native architectures across insurance and finance. Currently architecting global datasets at Chubb, working across North America, EMEA, and APAC to enable data-driven underwriting and risk assessment at enterprise scale. Trained in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London, bringing analytical depth to system design, platform governance, and the kind of engineering that earns trust over time.
Outside work, I build things: a literary app called The Daily Canon, an AI property tool called Renovision, and an annual leave planner called Timewell. I'm also a long-distance runner, a hiker and wildcamper, and an enthusiastic dog owner, often found exploring the wilder corners of the UK with Japhy, my Wirehaired Vizsla.
