Joel has specialized in providing AWS-hosted solutions to advanced analytics teams since 2010, empowering a diverse collection of companies to manage their data assets in search of insights that impact both customers and the bottom-line.

Joel leads teams to become data-driven, bringing more than than twenty years of experience in data warehouse engineering and analytics to bear.
