Skills
I'm offering
I am an experienced Technical Architect and Development Manager in the Data and information arena with strong skills in both production and development and a record of projects delivering to cost and on time.
I have worked with both Official Sensitive and Secret level data on UK Government projects. I have extensive experience with all aspects of data and information from strategy, master data management and data quality process through to migration, business intelligence and AI/ML.
Most recently I have been designing and implementing projects in the Microsoft Azure and AWS Clouds bridging the open-source Hadoop environment with Microsoft SQL BI Stack and Azure BI components and Amazon (AWS) PaaS components. Using concepts such as Delta Lake to provide flexible solutions to give timely access to information needed by companies to help them on their journey to become data driven decision makers.
In the 24 years, I have been working in Data and information I have had experience of all mainstream data and information platforms and have worked with most development and project methodologies including Waterfall and AGILE. I have designed and implemented DR solutions using 3rd party and SQL in built tools such as mirroring, replication and log shipping. I am used to producing documentation to ITIL standards and working within change control and to strict SLA targets. In data warehousing I have used Kimball (bottom up), and Inmon (top down) methodologies. I have extensive experience of all SQL Server versions from 4.3 – 2016. I have used many data mining tools and reporting systems and implemented MDS and DQS as part of Warehouse solutions. I have designed and implemented SQL Server platforms on Virtual and Cloud platforms. I am an experienced BI Technical Architect and have experience of delivering on both green field projects and taking over troubled existing projects to conclusion. I have implemented Hadoop for use with Big Data, primarily IoT, using Edge/Fog computing to reduce bandwidth of transmitted data.
