Independent Data Architecture Advisory
About
I am an independent data architecture advisor with over 20 years of experience designing and leading enterprise data platforms across energy, healthcare, media, finance, retail, and the public sector. My work focuses on helping organizations bring clarity to complex data environments through architectural direction, pragmatic governance, and sustainable data foundations.
My approach combines architecture, governance, and hands-on experience — with knowledge transfer as a core part of the work.
What I do
My work sits at the intersection of architecture, governance, and delivery. The goal is sustainable structure — not short-term fixes.

- Scalable and maintainable data models
- Architecture reviews and simplification of complex landscapes

How I work
I prefer clear trade-offs, pragmatic governance, and designs that teams can maintain. Knowledge transfer is integral — the goal is not dependency, but stronger internal capability and architectural clarity.
- Clarity first: principles, models, decisions
- Documentation that supports real delivery
- Mentoring and enablement of internal teams
- Pragmatism over bureaucracy
