He could never shake the feeling that things could be better, that adding IT knowledge to the recruitment process would lead to a hiring Utopia. At Data Idols, he now uses his unique background across hands on tech and hiring, to help organisations apply Data Engineering and Data Science techniques to improve the delivery of data projects, through consulting, recruitment, training and events.
