I'm a Data Analytics professional with a First-Class Honours MSc in Data Analytics (Machine Learning) from the National College of Ireland, and over 4.5 years of hands-on experience in global enterprise IT environments at Capgemini Technology Services.
My background spans Major Incident Management, Problem Management, and Automation Engineering within IT Service Management, working closely with distributed technical teams across multiple regions and time zones to improve system reliability, service performance, and operational efficiency.
I have a strong foundation in Python programming and enjoy using it to automate data extraction, processing, and reporting workflows. I've built automation solutions that significantly reduced manual effort, improved reporting accuracy, and accelerated stakeholder decision-making β cutting weekly report generation time by 75% and eliminating manual effort for 14β16 team members across critical reporting functions.
I bring solid experience in Root Cause Analysis, SQL/PostgreSQL, and ETL workflows, and I'm actively growing my knowledge in Data Engineering, Machine Learning, and Generative AI.
I'm ITIL V3 certified and comfortable operating in high-pressure environments. I value clear communication, structured problem-solving, and turning messy operational data into actionable insights.
