Hello!
With a background ranging from managing £20k/month e-commerce operations to coordinating logistics for global cruise liners like the Spectrum of the Seas, I understand that data doesn’t live in a vacuum—it represents real-world complexity.
My career path is non-linear by design. I have successfully adapted to four distinct industries, proving that I can master new domains quickly. Most recently, I transitioned from Voyage Management to Data Analytics, identifying logic errors in climate-tech datasets that went unnoticed by others.
Current Focus: I am currently leveraging AI to solve real-world resource problems. I recently built a full-stack application (serving as the backend developer alongside AI agents) that is currently improving art education for rural schools in China.
Core Skills:
- Data: SQL, Power BI, Excel (Advanced Macros/VBA).
- Tech: AI Implementation (Cursor, n8n, LLM integration).
- Ops: Stakeholder Management, Logistics Planning.
Open to Data Analysis and Operations roles where adaptability and technical grit are valued.
My Journey
The Grind, Present, Newcastle, UK
The 'In-Between' Chapter. After the layoff, I didn't stop—I keep job hunting and upskilling. Now I build AI infrastructure for non-profits. Keeping the hands busy and the GitHub green.
Short & Sweet, Dec 2024, Newcastle, UK
First and last Christmas at Sylvera. The stint was shorter than planned, but I learned enough to pursue a career as a data analyst. Great team, tough market.
The Leap, Sep 2024, Shanghai, CN
My last day on the ship. I packed my life into two suitcases to relocate to the UK. No job guarantee, just a visa and a plan. The scariest, best decision I’ve made.
The Captain (of Costs), May 2024, Shanghai, CN
Took full command of a ship's operational budget. While the Captain steered the vessel, I steered the finances—calculating fuel variances and implementing the forecasting models.
The Land-Based Sailor, Dec 2022, Shanghai, CN
First time onboard as an Operations Assistant. My job was to raid the ship for paperwork, sprint back to the safety of the office, and feed the Excel beast.
The Master Plan, Jul 2022, Cardiff, UK
MSc in Logistics. I came for the degree, I stayed for the... well, actually I went back to China. But I learned how to optimize supply chains and survive Welsh rain.
The Foundation, Jul 2020, Shanghai, CN
BSc in International Shipping secured. 4 years of studying the ocean, unaware that I’d eventually spend 12 months floating on top of it.
The Spark, Jul 2017, Berkeley, US
My summer session at UC Berkeley. This is where the obsession with sustainable development actually started—long before I knew how to clean data for it.
