Experience
I have collaborated on multiple aspects, including Architecture Reviews, Roadmap Planning, Build & Assist, Hackathons, Proof of Concepts, and Technical Enablement Skills Development. The main focus is to simplify complex topics by developing methodologies and frameworks that bring structure to data enablement. One such framework, the “7 Step Visualization Framework,” has been widely utilized to ensure the success of Data Visualization projects for clients.
With Microsoft, I was a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the data platform, which allowed me to mentor others, create IP readiness, and contribute to technical communities.
