Hey 👋 I'm Andrew, a Principal Engineer at GoCardless, one of Europe's leading Fintechs. I have over 15 years' experience in the industry, with the first half primarily as a software engineer before moving into the data infrastructure and data engineering space.
I joined GoCardless as its first data engineer in 2017, and led a great team as we built out our data platform from scratch. After initially following a typical data architecture and getting frustrated with facing the same old challenges we've faced for years, I started thinking there must be a better way, which led to me creating and defining data contracts in 2021.
I'm a regular speaker and writer, and passionate about helping organizations get the most value from data (that's what it's all about, isn't it?!).
Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn, or sign up to my newsletter.
