About Ahmed

Coming from business intelligence (BI development then consulting), I have progressively expanded my scope to data governance and architecture. 20 years of experience, from on-premise legacy to cloud platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt).
End-to-end governance: business scoping, prioritization/roadmap, target architecture, delivery, production deployment and run (SLA/SLO), change management.
Positioning: bridging the gap between business objectives, IT constraints, and data execution, while staying close to the ground to validate technical choices before industrialization.
