About Me

My journey into the world of technology and business began with a curiosity about how systems work and a desire to make a meaningful impact. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the intersection of technology and business, which led me to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce & IT and later a Masters in Business Administration.

I currently serve as a Senior Consultant at Slalom, where I focus on Technology Strategy, Cloud Transformation, and FinOps. My experience spans Cloud Architecture (AWS, Azure), Data Analytics, BI & AI (PowerBI, Snowflake, Salesforce), and IT Operating Models (ITSM).

In my spare time, I enjoy running, board games, road trips, and the great outdoors, travelling and learning about foreign cultures.
