I have finance and data-related work experience gained in an accounting practice in Poland, two local governments in the UK, a proprietary futures trading firm, a multinational clinical research organization, a global car-sharing company, world's largest building society and world's largest consulting company. Currently, I work as a Lead Data Engineer at Credera.
