Hi, I'm Joe.
I am Data Nerd.
My Story
I've always been drawn to data because it tells the story of how we got here and where we want to go.
Background
Formally education in Urban Planning, I think strategically ever since. However, I quickly gravitated to technology and have been involved with wide variety of technology disciplines which include GIS, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science and Data Architecture. I have worked with data for 20 years and written code for 12 years completing more than 80 projects along the way for a variety of organizations from the small family business to large enterprises with thousands of team members and many more in between.
Certification
I am a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) and follow the Data Management Body of Knowledge, published by the Data Management Association. This publication acts as a comprehensive guide to best practices for enterprise data management that is technology independent. It covers topical areas that include Data Management, Governance, Ethics, Data Storage, Data Security, Data Architecture, Data Modeling, Data Integration, Metadata, Data Quality, Master Data, Content Management, Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence and Big Data.
Interest Area
I am interested in brining modern analytics technology to the industries of Architecture, Engineering Construction aka AEC and Real Estate.
Working with data is a lot like playing sports. Lots of people want to show up and play on game day. That is the data products such as Business Intelligence, Automation Programs and Machine Learning. However, much like sports there is lots of effort to get there. In sports its conditioning, film study and going over the game plan. In data it is strategy, security, privacy, architecture, modeling, storage, data integration, data quality and data quality that makes those data products possible.
This is what I usually write about. I want this site to be a resource that addresses common topics that I regularly deal with in some capacity. Perhaps it will help you as it does me. Thanks for stopping by and for reading.
