Hi. I'm an expert database, reporting and automation developer, with more than twenty years' experience. Yes indeed, I'm getting old. I have two key focuses. The first is building SAP Business Objects universes and reports. As this is based on querying databases, sadly I'm deeply into relational and more normalised databases, such as star schema design, with a particular emphasis on Oracle. I also have strong experience in SQL Server, MySQL/MariaDB, MS Access, Azure Cosmos DB, key-value stores, columnar databases and ETL. Ranging from single-users to large scale datawarehousing, although usually not small since BO isn't cheap, I help customers gather, optimise and store their data. The other is based on profound experience in Excel and VBA, from visualising data to automating data cleansing and ingestion, along with automated dashboarding. I've helped users get and understand their data, using language they understand whether beginner or expert, and acted as the bridge between business areas and IT for more than two decades in some of Europe's most prestigious institutions. In both areas, I've helped customers both build new solutions and improve existing processes, with strong business analysis skills and experience, in sensitive environments. Finally, I have a strong background in Windows deployment automation, together with automated application deployment, scripting across Windows, Unix and Linux.
