Cloud Data Engineer | GCP · FinOps | Building scalable, cost-optimized data platforms | UK-based

Results-driven data engineer with 11+ years in IT, focused on cloud data platforms on GCP. At Virgin Media O2, I design and run scalable pipelines and ETL, automate infrastructure with Terraform and GitLab, and partner with data scientists, architects, and stakeholders to ship secure, compliant data products—from Pub/Sub and Dataflow through BigQuery and Cloud Storage.

Data & cloud platforms

• GCP: BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, Cloud Scheduler, Google Workflows, Cloud Functions
• ETL/ELT, data modeling, data quality, governance, and security aligned to regulations and internal policy
• Cost-aware design and FinOps-style optimization of data workloads

Automation & engineering

• Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, Python and shell automation
• Migrating and consolidating datasets (e.g. multi-regional → regional BigQuery patterns)
• Dashboards and near–real-time reporting (e.g. Looker Studio / Data Studio–style solutions)

Observability & AI-adjacent projects

• Elasticsearch, ES|QL, and workflow-driven tooling (see iroa below)
• Agent-style and hackathon projects around incidents, compliance, and ops copilots

Languages & tools

• Python, SQL, Shell · Git · Data pipeline and integration best practices

Selected public repositories:

Turn alerts into root cause, citations, and remediation scripts.
