About

Associate Solution Architect at Clekt — an official Snowflake service delivery partner — working with organisations to design and deliver data and AI solutions that create genuine commercial value.

My work sits at the intersection of technical architecture and client outcomes. I lead engagements from discovery through to delivery, designing data pipelines, data models, and AI-enabled solutions using Snowflake, SQL, Python, and Microsoft Azure. Alongside delivery work, I mentor engineers within the Clekt team and contribute to growing our technical capability as an organisation.

I write regularly about Snowflake, AI, and data management and governance here on data-flakes.dev, and regular gust on the Clektive Thinking podcast, where we explore data, AI, and the real-world challenges of building modern data platforms.

My path into the data profession is unconventional. Over a decade in hospitality management, followed by roles in training and business intelligence, gave me something most architects don't have: the ability to listen carefully to what a business actually needs, translate that into technical solutions, and communicate clearly across every level of an organisation — from engineering teams to the boardroom.
