About Paul Thompson
As a technician in the Civil Service, I was shocked to see equipment that I supported exhibited in a museum! This was an epiphany and started my journey to a “Perceptive and tenacious data analyst able to communicate with Technical Professionals and Customers. Offering 20+ years of experience providing strategic insights and influential reporting”…I worked with researchers using this equipment, bringing insights to solve a long-standing problem. I was awarded a substantial bonus payment for this work, as was the team.I took several lessons that have served me well over my career. Most important was data driven insights and began to bring this technique to other problems. I became aware that the makeup of the team was neuro-diverse and that different backgrounds brought new perspectives, contributing to successful outcomes.I helped build a team that championed Data Analysis in the organisation. I provided leadership to inexperienced analysts and gravitated to capability development. Excel had developed but we needed more. seeing the potential of Pentaho ETL platform (Ventara) and pioneered its application to analysis.New capability brought new challenges, now too many applications/platforms to choose in the Design of Analytic platforms. Working closely with dev teams and contractors, I built strong ties by locating myself in their workspaces and learned to speak their language! Resulting in new systems that actually improved the User experience.Now Senior Analyst, my skills were still in demand, and I produced some of my best work, being rewarded by Senior Decision Makers for several Analytic Reports. An example involved OCR software to automate data ingest of legacy data and ETL to enrich with meta-data at source, enabling impactful reporting through Excel pivot charts.I could see that Big Data/Digital Transformation had taken slow marginal gains from data enrichment not worth the bother only 10 years ago to near real time, impactful insights to senior decision makers.After one year of retirement, I looked for work and was amazed how Data Analysis had grown and that I was sought out for my skills. I was enthused by Power BI, Excel and Alteryx to name but a few. I took on data analysis contracts, most recently at SpiraxSarco that harnessed PowerBI, Excel (fuzzy matching and X-lookup) and deep Analysis to migrate Engineering data from legacy sources into e-commerce platforms.
