CLIENT PROJECTS
2011 – present
Principal Enterprise Warehouse Architect, ($20B International Retailer) Boston, MA
(Client will remain undisclosed during the active engagement please)
Principal Architect responsible for the EDW Enterprise Data Warehouse. Applied technologist, providing hands on leadership in the analysis,
design, implementation of back room & front room data warehouse database systems on Netezza utilizing Kimball Warehouse Bus Matrix
approach. ETL Integration Architect providing thought leadership for utilizing Datastage in a Kimball based solution. Metadata Architect for
end to end IBM tools integration of Netezza, Datastage, & IBM Metadata Workbench.
Some Key Initiatives/Solutions Provided
 Erwin EMI macro development to allow Erwin to auto generate 100% native Netezza DDL deployment kits
 Erwin EMI rules based macros automate end to end validation of data models, metadata, Netezza DDL & sandbox test kits
 Established Erwin Enterprise Data Dictionary via Erwin data model inheritance hierarchy
 Erwin Model Mart repository management, performance tuning of repository, model version control standards
 Netezza database foundational objects & procedural interfaces for product Release Management/Version Control
 Netezza NZSQL framework for executing native NZSQL “snap in” processes auto generated by Erwin EMI macros
 Netezza database framework & procedural interfaces on SQL Server database captures metadata on all Netezza / Datastage
integration processes running in all environments
 Kimball based leadership in the analysis, design, implementation of warehouse systems via Warehouse Bus Architecture
 Kimball Layered back room architecture for landing, staging, classic operational data stores, future deep field support
 Kimball Layered front room architecture of Dimensional Models (tactical & strategic BI layers), Knowledge Models (for RAD
operational response to noisy/unqualified data sources), & HOT Models (for dash-boarding/near real time support)
 Kimball “alternate realities” for multiple, simultaneous observation of facts from differing user perspectives
 Kimball patterns for slow change dimension, monster dimensions, study groups, recency-frequency-intensity
 Kimball formation of back room layers optimized for ETL integration using Datastage
 Full auditing of tactical assets providing “what we know, & when we knew it” data source proofing for inbound data
 Java application built to process Datastage DSX extract files, parse out logical Datastage objects into separate DSX
deployment files, supporting fine grained migration to forward Datastage environments
