The Journey
Not a straight line.
But always the right one.
01 — THE GIFT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
Curious. Observant. Wired for patterns.
From childhood, I could read a room — people's moods, reactions, expressions. I could sense what others missed. At the time I called it intuition. I now call it pattern recognition.
Numbers were my other language. Mathematics was never just a subject — it was how I made sense of the world. Complex problems didn't frustrate me. They invited me in.
02 — THE LONG WAY AROUND
Rejections. A sales desk. A dream that wouldn't leave.
I studied Mathematics at university and discovered data for the first time. I was fascinated — but didn't know where to begin. After graduating I applied for data roles and got rejected. Again and again.
"How hard is it to get an entry-level job?" I asked myself. I took a banking sales role and told myself it was temporary. The dream never left my bedside.
03 — THE PROBLEMS THAT PULLED ME BACK
On the ground. Seeing the gaps. Building the solutions.
Working in banking I saw the inefficiencies firsthand — relationship managers scanning through pages of statements by hand, calculating totals line by line. I knew data could solve this.
It wasn't me pursuing data anymore. It was pursuing me. So I got up, built this portfolio, and started solving the problems I'd seen firsthand.
"Beyond analytics, I believe data and technology should serve people — especially those who don't yet have a voice. That belief is what drives every query, every dashboard, every tool I build."
