Leader: Build teams that leverage excellent data science and software engineering skills to model and analyze diverse client data and optimize the production of narrative reports with the Quill authoring software. Created one of the company's highest performing, driven engineering teams, which consistently delivers above expectations. Incorporated scrum techniques to improve throughput, productivity, and knowledge sharing. Lead a team of 10 data engineers as Line Manager. Encourage each member's personal and professional development and mentor, train, and build them into a cohesive scrum. Recruit, evaluate, and hire top-quality data engineers to foster an environment that builds on the best of both Computer Science and Data Science backgrounds. Architect: Develop use cases, requirements, and user stories from internal and external customers. Work with technical product managers to scope, plan, and realize the products to meet those needs. Research, design, and build services to support data ingestion and processing on AWS using a variety of data stores and frameworks. Drive the reuse and configuration of common data analysis tools to reduce the time required to ingest client's data from weeks to days. Data Expert: Advocate and develop common data analysis toolsets for data ingestion, aggregation, analysis, and modelling to extract deep insights from data beyond the standard business intelligence and visualisation tools. Provide strategic insight regarding data analysis and processing techniques to senior management. Drive productization of data processing to facilitate building a rich, reusable toolset that can scale to support significant user bases. As technical analyst and data consultant, advise a diverse set of clients on their data needs and requirements. Assess and scope the work required to meet client expectations.
