About

A management accountant and pricing analyst who builds the tools the spreadsheet can't.

Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) with 10 years of experience in financial modelling, cost analysis, and pricing strategy across the IT services industry.

Proven ability to translate complex data into executive-ready insights, build scalable analytical models, and partner with senior stakeholders to support high-value decisions.

I conceptualised and directed custom pricing automation software now in daily use at Altron — and on the side I build AI tools exploring where accounting, pricing and forecasting meet automation.

Building

Where finance meets the build — the projects I tinker with on the side.

A few AI-powered side projects — from receipt tracking to pricing automation — built to learn, and because I enjoy it.
