OUT OF THE BOX THINKING FOLLOWING WHERE THE DATA LEADS

Specializing as an Enterprise Data Integration Architect. My specialty is Data Integration using MDM metadata techniques and Data Modeling to establish a solid Data Foundation for analytic endeavors. But I also do everything on the logical side of the Data Management Life Cycle including Information Assessments to define Strategic Road Maps leading to project definition. Everyone is talking about BIG DATA but a good data foundation is required to tie it all together.
