I help businesses leverage the power of data to enhance their performance. 

At Pomerol Partners, we work with organisations to use data more intelligently and gain effective insights from data analytics. We also help understand the implications of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to support business growth.

Outside of my work with Pomerol, I contribute to various publications such as Brainz Magazine, the AI4C and the AI Journal. I’m also a Thought Leader at the Forbes Technical Council and the Global AI Hub.

As a Microsoft Data Platform MVP, I work closely with the entire Microsoft Data Platform suite of products, including Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Data Bricks, Azure Machine Learning, SQL Server, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, Azure and Power BI from prototyping to deployment. I’m also chair for the Microsoft Power BI – UK community group.

Mentorship and giving back to the data community are incredibly important to me, and so I run monthly data visualisation challenges through #DataDNA. I communicate with individuals from a range of backgrounds as an international speaker and advisor, too.

I have a proven track record in implementing Business Intelligence (BI) on Big Data, Data Warehouse (DWH), Data Lakehouses, Tabular data modeling and Data Analytics-related consulting projects. As well as this, I possess experience in delivering and developing valuable on-premise and cloud-based AI and Data solutions to drive data security, accuracy and process efficiency.

My programming and data knowledge extends to implementing advanced Machine Learning solutions harnessing Jupyter Notebooks and Visual Studio Code, alongside frameworks like PyTorch on Azure, TensorFlow, and Scikit-Learn.

Not many people know this, but I used to be a professional footballer.

I played for the Wycombe Wanderers Football Club for just over four years and Aylesbury United for 3.5 years, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

We may not have made it to the leagues, but it taught me many skills that still come in handy today.

Here are 5 lessons I learned in #football that have helped during my data career:

1️⃣  Resilience - In football you get a lot of knockbacks (quite literally!) until you finally score. And in data, it’s the same. When learning a new language or writing a new program, it’s common to encounter error after error until you finally find success.

2️⃣ Value - A team will only keep you on as a player if you’re providing value. Likewise, in data, you need to prove your value to an organisation if you want to excel in your career. Learn to look beyond the direct benefits to yourself and think, “How will what I’m doing impact the rest of the team? How can I provide the most value possible to them?”

3️⃣ Adaptability - All of the best football players are adaptable. They can adapt quickly and easily to new teammates, surroundings and opponents. With how quickly technology is evolving, being able to adapt is a trait stellar data analysts should now possess, too.

4️⃣ Focus - Whether you’re on the pitch in front of thousands or trying to debug a troublesome code, it’s all a game of focus. Tune out the noise and hone in on the task at hand.

5️⃣ Determination or hard work - For a career in football, you have to practice in your own time outside of training if you want to take your skills to the next level. The same applies to working in data.

Whoever would have thought my footballing past could translate so well to my career in data?

I’m curious about the interesting career histories of the rest of the LinkedIn #tech community. 
So, please let me know yours in the comments below - bonus points for including one transferable skill that helps you in your #data role today!

- What is cardinality? Describe a common issue with using many-to-many cardinality in a relationship
- We currently have a Power BI report that imports a large volume of data from our warehouse. How would you optimize the performance of a Power BI report for big data?

🔝 Advanced:

- What workarounds exist to avoid using bi-directional filters in relationships?
- Discuss a challenging Power BI project you worked on in a past organisation.
- Which Power BI project are you most proud of having accomplished?

A career in data doesn’t have to mean you’re confined to an office all day, everyday.

In fact, working in data can actually open you up to a world of travel experiences.

Take me, for example - my tech career has provided me with numerous fulfilling social events to attend across the globe, and honestly, anyone could do the same!

It’s all about finding the right opportunities and expanding your network in different locations.

If you’re curious about what types of opportunities I’m talking about, then here’s a glimpse of my travel highlights from the last year alone:

→ I spent a busy 32 hours travelling across the US 🇺🇸  for  back-to-back #data workshops in Miami, Chicago and Kansas City.

→ I attended a speaking tour called ‘Data Relay’ in the UK 🇬🇧 which saw me speaking in cities like Leeds, Birmingham, Reading and Bristol.

→ I spent a fantastic week at the Microsoft MVP summit in Washington last month.

→ And I visited Jeddah in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦  for an exciting project in late 2022.

Despite what people may believe, working in data CAN be a great way to #travel more.

So, here’s your end-of-week reminder that an ‘office job’ doesn’t restrict you to a desk…there’s a whole world of #data and #tech opportunities to explore out there!

➡️ Question: What’s your favourite destination that you’ve travelled to for work?

Want to analyse data from different sources or across different categories?
Try DAX!

DAX is a collection of functions, operators, and constants that help you create new information from data already in your model. It’s the native formula and query language for Power BI, #SQL and PowerPivot in #Excel.

It’s most helpful when you have multiple streams of data that you need to analyse at once.
For example:
- Critical sales data across several product categories
- Data spanning multiple data ranges
- Data from different tables or sources that need to be combined
...DAX lets you do all of this and more.

Mastering DAX will take you one step closer to making the most out of your #data.

DAX Cheat Sheet

Are entrepreneurs born or made?

It’s a divisive topic, but personally I think they’re made.

Entrepreneurship isn’t a destination - it’s a journey, and often comes along as the natural result of hard work, growth and passion. In fact, many of the best and most famous founders started their journeys after gaining experience elsewhere first:
➡ Henry Ford worked as a mechanic for 24 years before starting Ford Motors.
➡ Jack Ma was a university lecturer until he founded Alibaba.
➡ Robert Noyce was 41 when he created Intel (the software that powers Windows).

My point is, you don’t have to ‘start out’ as an entrepreneur to become one.

Take me, for example - I began my career as a footballer and then worked in operations marketing before self-learning #SQL and #Python just over a decade ago. I’ve worked in data in many different roles since, as a developer, consultant, partner and now founder.

Relaunching Onyx Data felt like the right next step for me, and I credit a lot of that to my time and experience spent working in industry.

Never think you’re not cut out for something just because you didn’t start out on that path.

It’s often the experiences and lessons you learn along the way that shape you into a great entrepreneur.
—----
As part of my Onyx Data relaunch, I mentioned last week that something big is coming exclusively for the #LinkedIn community.
Interested? 👀

Make sure you’re following me and hit the ‘bell’ on my profile so you’re notified when I announce in a few days’ time!

On Monday, I announced the relaunch of my company, Onyx Data.

I’ve been overwhelmed with support since then, so thank you to everyone for your kind words!

But, the good news doesn’t stop there…

💡 I am excited to announce something BIG coming to Onyx, exclusively for LinkedIn followers…

Interested?

➡ Comment ‘Onyx’ down below and I’ll make sure you’re one of the first to find out!

One of my favourite parts of what I do is getting up on stage and engaging with a live audience.

But if you’d known me 10 years ago - you never would have believed it.

I used to dread public speaking, and did everything I could to avoid it at the start of my career in #data. However, as I attended more conferences and events filled with fantastic speakers delivering powerful insights, I realised, “I can do that, too.”

As my career progressed, I knew I had more to share, whether about my experiences as a minority in the tech industry or where I think the future of AI is headed.

So, it was time to tackle my fear head on…

➡ Fast forward a few years, and I’ve now spoken in multiple countries to international audiences. I was part of Sessionize.com’s top 3% of speakers last year, and I’ve also met many incredible people who have connected with my story.

Let this serve as your reminder to never let fear hold you back from your full potential.

If I can overcome it, anyone can, and the results are often better than you could ever imagine!

P.S. My diary is quickly filling up but I have a few spaces left for speaking sessions in 2023. If you’re interested in having me talk at your event or podcast, please send me a message to see how we can collaborate!

Calculation Groups and their Conditional Formatting with Štěpán Rešl

There’s one country that’s ‘leading the world’ in AI and big data innovations.

In fact, they’ve become ‘masters in building AI applications.’ 
Any guesses?

It’s the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪

The UAE has positioned itself as a key player in the global AI revolution, partly thanks to its strategic location and the huge volume of data it manages.

So, what’s made the UAE an #AI world leader?

🔸 It comes down to the three ‘V’s - volume, variety and velocity of data.

🔸 Volume - Emirates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi are highly densely populated with dynamic, data literate populations.

🔸 Velocity - They have great infrastructure in terms of roads and telecommunication networks. Institutions like Dewa and DP World hold immense data locally. And with the country’s airline networks, they also have data that expands worldwide.

🔸 Variety - Investments in AI span a range of projects and initiatives, from the world’s first ever AI-specific university to AI-powered space expeditions.

We’re likely to see more examples of AI integrations in business and society at large over the next few years, with countries like the #UAE leading the way in making smart tech a part of daily reality.

I’ve included a link to an article in the comments where you can read more about this!

We’ve developed a tool that takes property price analysis to the next level.

Housing Intelligence was first created for the largest estate agency in the country using data from Rightmove and Zoopla. 

How does it work?
Simply, by applying the insights of a savvy, data-driven strategy to the housing market.

And it’s not just for estate agents.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an investor, you need independent, local-level information that you can rely on when making property decisions - especially in today’s economy. 

Housing Intelligence gives you instant access to this information, such as prices, average price change and affordability, fast and cost-effectively.

So, what happened when our client started leveraging Housing Intelligence for their business?
✅ Result 1: Sales increased by 13%
✅ Result 2: Their marketing campaign was 23% more effective than previous
✅ Result 3: Insights and predictions became more accurate

Our Housing Intelligence tool is available for anyone in the business of property, who can benefit from access to unique datasets that drill right down to postcode level.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Urges A.I. Regulation in Senate Hearing (Genuine Concern or Creating a Competitive Advantage!!)


✔In his testimony, Altman acknowledged the potential for AI to both create and destroy jobs. He proposed the creation of an agency to oversee the development of large-scale AI models and to set safety regulations and testing requirements.

✔Lawmakers in the Senate subcommittee suggested various potential regulation mechanisms, including an independent agency to oversee AI, rules requiring companies to disclose their workings and data sets, and antitrust rules to prevent monopolization of the AI market.

✔While some lawmakers displayed gaps in their technological understanding, others expressed concern about balancing regulation with the economic potential of AI and the competition it poses against countries like China.

✔Some of the criticism against Altman came from Dr. Gary Marcus, who criticized OpenAI's lack of transparency regarding its data use and expressed skepticism about Altman's predictions of job creation.

Also present at the hearing was Christina Montgomery, IBM’s chief privacy and trust officer, who argued for a more nuanced approach to AI regulation, focusing on specific uses of the technology rather than the technology itself.
