I've been recognised by Microsoft for my contributions to the data community for nearly a decade. This isn't just a badge, it means I'm deeply connected to product teams and stay ahead of platform changes.

Most consultants focus purely on technical architecture. I believe great platforms need both solid engineering and thoughtful design. Not just aesthetics, but systems that feel intuitive, where users find insights without training manuals, where architecture serves people. Think Apple's "it just works" philosophy applied to enterprise data.

Fifteen years building enterprise data platforms with Microsoft technologies - traditional business intelligence, Azure data services, and Power BI. As a Microsoft MVP and Fabric go-to-market lead at Avanade during private preview, I gained early access to how it unifies everything I'd been building separately. I understand what Fabric evolved from and how to bridge your current state to its full potential.

As founder of the London Microsoft Fabric User Group, I'm connected to hundreds of practitioners solving real-world problems. The patterns and solutions I see across the community directly inform how I approach your project. You benefit from collective intelligence, not just one consultant's perspective.

Regular speaker at SQLBits, Data Saturdays, and Microsoft Fabric Community Conference. Teaching forces clarity, but I learn as much from audience questions and community conversations as I share. This continuous exchange keeps my approach fresh and informed. Your teams inherit solutions shaped by real-world challenges across industries, explained in ways they can understand and maintain.
