About You
You’ll be an experienced data professional who excels in Python, with a proven ability to develop powerful data visualisations, implement machine learning models, and deploy solutions in the cloud (Azure). You understand the value of DevOps principles, version control, and integrating technical solutions seamlessly into client operations. You have a good understanding of the MS Power Platform and can incorporate it into solution designs and manage other team members to develop solutions in Power BI and Power Apps.
