Global Records

Data & Analytics

Working at Global Records has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, giving me the opportunity to combine two areas I genuinely enjoy: technology and creativity. Over time, I developed my own approach to this intersection, something I like to call "Artech", where art meets technology. Being part of such a creative and constantly evolving industry has taught me to grow alongside it, stay adaptable, and continuously look for smarter ways of working. Like any fast-paced business, the music industry comes with its own challenges. It often requires thinking outside the box, finding the fastest and most effective solution to a problem, and constantly optimizing processes and workflows. For me, technology is not just about building tools, it is about making things work better, supporting the business, and ultimately creating more value for both the company and its clients.

Selected impact

Less about big numbers. More about what genuinely got better.

Automation

recurring reports turned into automated workflows

Data

multiple sources cleaned, standardized and connected

Tools

internal dashboards, APIs and database systems

Business

data translated into useful answers for stakeholders

Things I actually built

Not case studies. Just what got shipped.

01

Music Catalog Database

Supabase / SQL / APIs

From learning how tables, buckets and Row Level Security work to building my own database and connecting it to the tools I use.

02

Internal Analytics Dashboard

React / JavaScript / Node.js

Built to make recurring business data easier to explore, understand and use.

03

Reporting Automation

Python / Google Apps Script / APIs

Turning repetitive reporting processes into automated workflows.

What I learned

Turns out, the hardest problems aren't always technical.

Working here taught me that building the right solution starts before writing any code. Understanding the business problem, the people using the tool, and what actually needs to improve matters just as much as the technology behind it.

good data ≠ useful data

useful data = context + question + action

What I'm taking with me

A better sense of data, and a habit of asking why.

A better understanding of data, stronger technical instincts, and the habit of asking “why are we doing this manually?” a little too often.
