WORK HISTORY
Data Architect @Formula 1
London, GB
As a Data Leader at F1, I spearhead the development and optimisation of an AWS-based data platform to handle high-volume big data (TBs), with a strong emphasis on data governance and lineage. I architect Transactional Data Lake solutions (Delta/Iceberg) using AWS services, enabling scalable, secure, and efficient data pipelines to support F1’s diverse data sources. I lead a global partner data engineering team, driving data-driven strategies and ensuring GDPR compliance while supporting Marketing Tech initiatives and advanced analytics within the business. I also collaborate with strategic technology partners at the architecture level to integrate advanced solutions that enhance platform scalability, security, and innovation. In parallel, I am shaping the AI strategy for the data platform, ensuring it is future-ready to deliver intelligent insights, automation, and long-term business impact. My expertise lies in delivering actionable insights, maximising business value, and maintaining strong governance across data operations, enabling F1 to unlock the full potential of fan data.
