Summary
Andy Leonard is a seasoned data engineering practitioner and founder of DILM Suite with over a decade of experience helping enterprises run mission-critical SSIS workloads reliably, governably, and safely through modernization. He builds practical DevOps-friendly tools (SSIS Catalog Compare, SSIS Framework Manager) driven by patterns he observed in the field, solving lifecycle friction rather than advocating rip-and-replace. Beyond product work, he advises and leads teams on hybrid on-prem/cloud data platforms, authors books on SSIS/ADF and team management, and co-hosts data- and quantum-focused podcasts. His background ranges from hands-on ETL framework design and large-team management to training hundreds of practitioners, giving him a unique blend of operational empathy and engineering rigor. An uncommon strength: he pragmatically bridges long-lived legacy estates and modern governance practices, enabling safe, incremental modernization.
