\section{Summary}
\begin{tabular}{p{0.97\textwidth}}
  I am passionate about data and technology. 
   My deepest satisfaction lies in delivering highly efficient and modular solutions relying on strong data models 
   for reuse across various data disciplines.\smallskip

  Throughout my career, I have endorsed various positions involving data governance, data architecture, data modeling (data vaulting, 
   dimensional modeling, unified star schemas, \ldots), data integration, system integration, reference data management and business 
   analytics (reporting \& dashboarding).\medskip
