BARRY WARD
HEAD OF DATA WAREHOUSING & BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Barry describes his career as a random journey of opportunities and projects that piqued his interest and provided development opportunities. His early career as a scientific programmer in geophysics and defence morphed into a systems designer in the finance sector. Later, this led to applications and database development, and data modelling in the health sector. In more recent years he has specialised in data warehousing and business intelligence projects in such areas as utilities, primary production, health, finance, and local government. He maintains an interest in mathematics and says this paragraph satisfyingly has a prime number word count.
