I have many years experience working with a number of large clients within the Big Data, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence spheres. I've utilised technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Talend, SQL, Splunk, Abinitio and many more in order to undertake requirements gathering, delivery planning, resourcing, design & development and deployment.I initially started my IT career as a data migration/conversion specialist, using technologies such as Ab Initio (ETL), UNIX and Oracle. I then moved into the Business Intelligence/Integration sphere, primarily working as a Data Architect and Senior ETL Developer. I know have a focus on Big Data working as a data engineer.
