ABOUT JAMES WILSON
Hi, I’m James. There are two things I love working with: data and people.I\'m currently working at BAE Systems as the Head of Data Literacy within the Air Sector.My journey into data and analytics has been somewhat atypical – I dropped out of university to pursue a career as a guitarist, had plenty of ups-and-downs, before returning to studies at the age of 27. I did a BA in History before moving onto a MA in Philosophy, both with the Open University, and then completing an MSc in Data Science at Lancaster University, all done whilst working in the NHS.Data are great, people are great: treat them both kindly.Key SkillsLeadership & StrategyData strategy • Stakeholder engagement • Cross-functional collaboration • Leadership • Coaching & mentoring • Problem solving • Building data cultureData Management, Governance & CultureData governance • Data stewardship • Data ownership models • Data quality • Metadata management • Data literacy & capability developmentDelivery & Ways of WorkingAgile delivery • Product & backlog management • Iterative development • Sprint planning • Stakeholder alignment • Jira • ConfluenceProgramming Python • SQL • R • PySparkData Science & Advanced AnalyticsMachine learning • Anomaly detection • Optimisation • Algorithm designAnalytics & VisualisationPower BI • Tableau • Excel • Dash (Python) • R Shiny • Grafana • Qlik • SSRSData EngineeringApache Spark • Databricks • Azure Data Factory • SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) • ETL/ELT pipeline designAutomation & ProductivityProcess automation • Workflow optimisation • Microsoft Power Automate • Operational efficiency improvementDatabasesPostgreSQL • Neo4j • SQL Server • ClickHouseCloudMicrosoft Azure
