What I do
Six ways I help teams
get value from data.
Lakehouse Implementation
Medallion architecture on Databricks and Unity Catalog: bronze ingestion, silver conformance, gold dimensional models.
Cloud Migration
AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud migrations built on Well-Architected principles — secure, resilient and cost-aware.
Database Engineering
Oracle RAC, Data Guard, Exadata, PostgreSQL and SQL Server — performance tuning, HA design and capacity planning.
Analytics & BI
Power BI architecture, dimensional modelling and self-service enablement so leaders get trusted numbers, fast.
AI-Enabled Automation
Document review, completeness checks and exception handling — AI applied where it removes real administrative load.
For football
Data your club can trust on matchday.
I referee on weekends and build registration and compliance data for football clubs through Let's Data Talk. Football data has its own rhythm: seasons, transfers, age groups and volunteers. I design for it.
Clubs
Match, player and membership data in one governed place: registrations that reconcile, rosters coaches can rely on and reporting the board can defend.
Federations
Registration, competition and participation data across every member club, with shared standards, compliance reporting and one source of truth.
Signature architecture
The Medallion
Lakehouse
Bronze ingests raw. Silver conforms and cleans. Gold serves the business. Three layers, one governed catalog — the pattern behind every platform I ship.
GOLD
Dimensional Models
Player & team dimensions, registration facts, invoice facts, executive KPI summaries.
SILVER
Conformed Views
Safe casting, null handling, text cleansing, latest-snapshot dedup, materialized views.
BRONZE
Streaming Ingestion
Auto Loader / cloudFiles, mixed encodings, repeated CSV snapshots, schema evolution.
Tech stack
Tools I reach for.
From the blog
Notes from the field.
Migrating Power Query M-code to PySpark
What actually breaks when you lift Power BI prep logic into Spark Declarative Pipelines — and the patterns that survive.
Unity Catalog without the chaos
A practical catalog and schema layout that scales past the first three teams who onboard.
When RAC is the wrong answer
High availability is a requirements conversation, not a product choice. A decision framework.
