About

Solutions Architect.
Product Thinker.
Educator.

I don't build features — I design solutions that make things genuinely easier for the people using them. At Wowizer.ai (Predoole Analytics), I lead Team Wowizer (5 engineers), building enterprise Qlik products across the full platform stack: QlikView, Qlik Sense Enterprise, and Qlik Cloud.

From Qlik migration & conversion tools to AI bots to cloud migration accelerators — every product starts the same way: find where technology is making someone's work harder than it needs to be, then remove that friction.

"Solution to make life easy for the user."

The filter every decision runs through

AI Work

Building with AI — Before & Now

Building retrieval-augmented architectures before RAG became the industry term. Now going deeper with certified systems and production AI features.

Built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline — grounding LLM responses in a custom knowledge base for accurate, context-aware answers instead of hallucinations.

Qlik Sense extension enabling users to edit and submit data directly from dashboards — writing back to a dedicated PostgreSQL table with automatic app reload. Supports Session Access for row-level security, concurrent multi-user edits, and two approval workflows (Direct Approve or Approve / Reject / Pending).

Inline Editing — Any field marked "Is Data Editable" becomes editable; users update without leaving Qlik
Session Access Security — Row-level restriction via Session Access; users see and edit only their permitted data
Approval Workflows — Direct Approve with comments, or Approve/Reject/Pending with admin sign-off before reload
Auto App Reload — QMC & Writeback services trigger reload automatically after approved data change
