As an Azure Data and Analytics Consultant, he helps organisations solve complex data, MLOps, and DevOps challenges across the Microsoft cloud ecosystem. With more than 19 years of experience, I support clients from multiple industries by designing scalable, secure, and efficient cloud solutions that meet both technical and business needs.
Throughout his career, he has delivered unique projects across industries such as Healthcare, Energy, Manufacturing, Media, Chemicals, Financial Services, High Tech, Hospitality, Retail, and Bio-tech.
Since 2020, one of his main focus areas has been data engineering and analytics. He works closely with business leaders and stakeholders across industry sectors to design and deliver solutions to complex business problems. With a clear understanding of requirements, he models, stores, and transforms data so organisations can use it in day-to-day operations.
Azure Data and Analytics Expertise
As an Azure data consultant, his primary responsibility is to develop, optimise, and oversee conceptual and logical data systems. He has experience with most Azure data and analytics services, including Azure Data Factory, Databricks and Spark, Data Lake and Delta Lake. Depending on the data type and quality, he also works with both SQL and NoSQL databases, such as Cosmos DB and Azure SQL.
He specialises in Data Vault modeling and building robust, scalable data architectures that support analytics and business intelligence. Using dbt (data build tool), he designs, transforms, and documents data pipelines that are modular, maintainable, and easy to test. His approach ensures that data is accurate, consistent, and ready for analytics, enabling organisations to make data-driven decisions efficiently.
He has extensive experience in machine learning engineering, building end-to-end ML pipelines that turn raw data into actionable insights. On Databricks, he specialises in feature engineering, creating high-quality, reusable features that improve model performance and reliability. By combining scalable data processing with best practices in ML workflow management, he helps organisations deploy robust, production-ready machine learning solutions efficiently.
Azure DevOps and MLOps Engineering
As enterprises increasingly adopt the cloud, the demand for well-architected solutions has grown significantly. Because of this shift, he has helped clients define governance and strategy for cloud infrastructure, security, maintainability, cost management, and automation in enterprise-grade environments. He has extensive hands-on experience with Terraform and Azure DevOps pipelines, enabling teams to build the environments needed for continuous delivery and code integration.
Cloud Architecture and Full-Stack Development
His primary back-end programming language is C#, and he has followed the evolution of the .NET Framework since 2006. As organisations moved to Azure for scalable cloud solutions, he transitioned from SharePoint and M365 development to cloud-based self-service solutions using APIs and a microservices architecture. In addition to coding, he develops blueprints to align technology, processes, and business goals.
He also has considerable experience with Azure App Services, Functions, Application Insights, Log Analytics, and related PaaS services. Although front-end development is not his main focus, he has completed hobby projects using Angular, Bootstrap, Swift, and auto-layout.
Entrepreneurship and Leadership in Technology
In addition to his technical work, he is passionate about business development and the startup mindset. He has written several blog posts about the companies he has co-founded. The most successful is Digital Illustrated, founded in 2010. Leading the company gave him experience in sales, marketing, daily operations, recruitment, partner management, and more. The full story can be found in his blog post “The Sweet Goodbye.”
He also co-founded Meltlake but chose not to continue after the funding round. The background and lessons learned are described in his post “Meltlake by Futurice, The Founding Story.”
As an experienced entrepreneur and tech lead, he believes in sharing his ideas and experiences with others. His goal is to inspire people to take risks and turn their ideas into reality. His technical posts, on the other hand, often provide deep-dive content or practical how-to guidance.
