Skills

Skills to pay the bills

Finance

I combine hands-on finance experience with data-driven reporting to turn budgets, reconciliations, forecasts, expenses, and performance metrics into clear financial insights. I use Excel, Power BI, and visual analytics to support accurate reporting, stronger controls, better planning, and smarter business decisions.

Business Intelligence

I build premium Business Intelligence reporting systems that turn business questions into clear, reliable decision tools. My work covers data modeling, Power Query transformation, DAX measures, KPI logic, and executive dashboards designed for finance and business performance analysis. I understand business insights exceptionally to translate data to action that stakeholders can understand with confidence.

Data Modeling

I design structured data models that make reporting reliable, scalable, and easy to understand. I focus on star schemas, fact and dimension tables, clean relationships, reusable DAX measures, and documented business logic so dashboards are built on trustworthy foundations instead of disconnected visuals.

About Me

Who is this guy?

American-French multi-talented Business Intelligence Developer & Analyst from Nashville, Tennessee who is currently based in Geneva, Switzerland. You’ll find me often building premium dashboards, generating solutions and connecting with good people. I’m passionate about scaling businesses, finance, data analytics, sustainability and social development through technology. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from IAE Lille and an MBA in Data Science from Swiss School of Business and Management. Growing up, I was deeply involved in serving those in need through community outreach and ministry work. I frequently supported individuals at the Nashville Rescue Mission, helping to uplift families facing challenging circumstances. I also participated in ministry efforts within prisons, bringing encouragement and hope to those in difficult situations. Beyond local efforts, I contributed my services to Compassion Switzerland, supporting their mission to provide medical care to children in poverty. Additionally, I am a proud donor to the Extra Life program, combining my passion for well-being with advocacy for children’s health. I am blessed and proud to have a family whose support and shared dedication made these meaningful experiences come to fruition, which also built the foundation for scaling companies through data and technology as well as my passion for a sustainable future.
