Plasma BI itself was formed in 2010 to facilitate an online CV (résumé)

Meet Richard, a seasoned Business Intelligence Consultant and Data Engineer with over 30 years of industry experience. Back in the late 80s starting on an ICL-ME29 (see photos!) through various Unix systems and Informix SE to Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server - and finally into cloud based technologies such as Google BigQuery, Firebase and SQL Server Managed Instance.

Richard is fluent in business intelligence, visualisation and data engineering tools.

Richard's passion lies in helping clients turn raw data into valuable insights. He finds great satisfaction in completing a project and seeing the sparkle in the client's eye when they see information they had no access to before implementation. He brings immense enthusiasm to every project he undertakes and is always eager to deliver the best possible outcome.

As a small example, he has written data flows across multiple platforms, including Amazon Web Services, Google Big Query, Azure Data Factory, inbound API data sources, and Google Maps API for visualisation. You can see a small demo of a flow of data from the International Space Station API, through Python on AWS, into BigQuery using BQ APIs - with Javascript web technology to retrieve, through a Google Cloud Function, served from Google App Engine, the currently reported position of the spacecraft .

He is driven by the challenge of extracting insights from vast amounts of data and presenting them in a format that is easy to understand. He is also a certified Google Cloud Architect and is well-versed in all popular databases.
