Professional profile

I'm a Data Solution Architect. I help companies adopt data and AI technologies, from figuring out where to start to running solid architectures in production. I stay close to both the client and the team, because a solution nobody understands or can operate is not really a solution.

Working across cloud platforms gave me an architectural mindset that is not tied to one vendor. I evaluate each case through its technical requirements, client ecosystem, and long-term strategy. I bring deep Azure expertise, hands-on GCP experience, and a growing focus on Cloud FinOps and FinOps for AI.

I continuously deepen my understanding of AI strategy and adoption, incorporating these tools into my daily work and developing sound judgment around governance, risk, architecture, and the economics of AI-based solutions. I aim to connect these capabilities with data architecture, team management, and concrete business needs.
