Hi! My name is Tom Bailey. Thanks for checking out my ‘About me’ section.

I’ve worked in technology consulting for nearly a decade, helping a diverse range of clients in industries from automotive to consumer goods transform their business needs into robust technical solutions. I’ve assumed many roles during that time, but I’m primarily interested in cloud data & software engineering!

As a consultant, I’ve had to move from project to project, which always brings with it the necessity and opportunity to learn. This is one aspect of my job that I've always loved, picking up new technologies, learning their ins and outs and delivering a creative and practical solution.

I’ve worked with early big data systems like Cloudera, HorntonWorks, HBase and Spark and more recently streaming & cloud technologies like Amazon Web Services, Apache Kafka and Snowflake. I’ve been fortunate enough to earn:

• the AWS Certified Developer Associate certification,

• the Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka certification,

• Snowflake’s SnowPro Core certification and

• Snowflake’s SnowPro Advanced Data Engineer certification.
