During Alfie’s first year and a half at The Information Lab, he has honed his skills with a placement at Viasat. While at Viasat Alfie was heavily involved in a migration project moving data pipelines from Alteryx to Azure Data Factory and Google Cloud Platform. Alfie has also recently finished a Data Engineering extension course at The Data School, where he developed skills in all facets of the ELT process.
While at Viasat, Alfie quickly developed skills in Azure Data Factory, which was a software that he didn’t have any prior experience in. During his time there he built multiple new procedures and pipelines for the company that have been in use since he built them. He also wrote a lot of sql scripts to do data transformation for the procedures. Alfie is currently at a Virgin Media O2 on a placement where he is working with dbt.
Prior to his time at The Information Lab, Alfie worked as an analyst at an agronomic laboratory, where he was involved in data collection and analysis of soil samples. Before this he earned a BSC in Pharmacology from the University of Reading, specialising in stem cell treatments for breast cancer. His academic background provided him with a solid foundation in scientific research and data analysis.
Outside of his professional life, Alfie enjoys playing and watching American football. He also finds joy in cooking.
