"Mathematics is the music of reason."
James Joseph Sylvester

Summary

Detail-oriented analytical thinker with superior consultative skills. Applies critical thinking to achieve complex business objectives, transforming data into meaningful insights. Possesses strengths in research, negotiation and cost-benefit analysis.

My focus is on understanding problems and opportunities from a domain knowledge base. Then applying automation and algorithmic solutions to optimise outputs.

Leading teams, or as part of a team, I prefer an informal approach, with emphasis on self-starting and a project driven agenda.
