About

Built and significantly owned enterprise project-finance dashboards at Publicis Sapient, with a strong focus on performance, data freshness, and trust for demanding finance users. Stands out for diagnosing problems across both the browser and data layers—optimizing SQL, reducing DOM load, and redesigning interactions so users stopped exporting to spreadsheets and worked directly in the live dashboard.
