Turn data into insights
Continuously learn and grow
Hi, I help people and companies automate and turn data into information by using a variety of tools including amongst others, Programming, SQL, Data Integration and Business Intelligence Tools.
I believe that programming is data transformation. I prefer Functional and Declarative programming, also know OO and Imperative.
I am curious, think outside the box, love to learn new things and am a self-starter.
