Data Architecture, Semantic Layers & AI-Driven Analytics
Turning business data into decisions people can trust.
With over two decades of experience across data architecture, business intelligence, analytics, and cloud data platforms, I help organizations build trusted analytics foundations that scale — from governed semantic layers to practical AI-powered analytics. The foundations I build are tool-agnostic by design.

Data Architecture & Semantic Layer Advisory
Modern analytics depends on more than dashboards. It requires trusted business definitions, governed metrics, and a scalable data foundation. I help organizations design and modernize:
Data warehouse and analytics architectures
Dimensional models and conformed dimensions
Semantic layers and governed metrics
Tool-agnostic semantic layers — built once, consumed by MicroStrategy, Tableau, Power BI, or AI agents alike
Cloud data platform migration, architecture, and optimization — including Snowflake and ClickHouse Cloud
Self-service analytics foundations
AI-ready analytics capabilities across modern BI platforms
Data quality, consistency, and governance frameworks
My focus is the architecture and governance layer beneath the dashboard — the foundation that makes any BI tool, or any AI application, trustworthy. Not tied to one vendor's tooling, and not bounded by traditional dashboards.
Growing Business
Practical AI Analytics for Growing Businesses
Many organizations already have valuable data spread across operational databases, spreadsheets, ecommerce platforms, and business applications. I'm exploring practical approaches combining modern analytics architecture, semantic layers, and AI to help business users:
Ask questions in plain English
Understand trends and performance drivers
Explore sales, customer, and operational data
Identify opportunities and risks faster
Make better decisions using the data they already have
The goal is simple: help organizations extract more value from existing data before investing in large-scale platforms and expensive tooling.
