"Once Had Tech" by Shelly
Parody of Blondie: Heart Of Glass

about me


It is my Life's dream to bring vision to data; once we have vision we can then validate, understand and finally make knowledgeable decisions.

I am looking to bring your vision to reality!

I am a professional SOFTWARE ENGINEER, skilled by twenty years of experience. Yes - 20 years of real experience in over 8 companies touching more than 70+ systems.

Specialities include Data Wrangling and Warehouse design and Salesforce Administration!


Over the last 20 years technology systems have changed more than I could have imagined. It has become faster and more intuitive but the cost associated with embracing new technology has left many living with inadequate, mis-configured solutions.
