Master data, made trustworthy.

Senior MDM Architect · Data Integration Lead

I build the systems of record that the rest of the enterprise depends on — and write and ship software when the workday ends. Twenty years in enterprise data, nine of them deep in Master Data Management at one of the world's largest law firms.

About

What I'm trusted with.

I'm a Senior Data Architect at Hogan Lovells, where I lead the Data Integration Hub — a self-healing platform feeding 44 downstream systems across 40+ global offices — and architected the firm's Master Data Management solution across People, Client-Matter, and Vendor domains. It's the third enterprise where I've worked in Master Data Management, after Lockheed Martin and Merkle.

Right now I'm playing a key role in the firm's combination with Cadwalader, the largest law-firm merger in history, forming the world's fifth-largest firm — migrating Cadwalader's downstream integrations into the platform my team built.

The through-line across two decades is the same instinct: find where systems disagree, and make the data trustworthy without anyone having to babysit it.

When Your Systems Can't Agree

An Executive Field Guide to Master Data Management Using the Trust-First Framework

The field guide I wish I'd had on my first MDM project: a practitioner's framework for building data trust through governance, alignment, and operating model — before the next acquisition, audit, or AI initiative forces the issue.

Drafted with AI assistance and grounded entirely in two decades of hands-on enterprise work. The framework, the war stories, and the judgment calls are mine.
