Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCraig Buchanan is a veteran business-intelligence consultant with nearly two decades of hands-on experience delivering elegant, high-quality analytics and reporting solutions—particularly in healthcare informatics and Epic Clarity implementations. As president of his consulting firm Cogniza and a frequent certified Epic-Clarity contractor, he has built reusable data-layer abstractions, complex BusinessObjects Universes, and dozens of Clarity extracts to accelerate research and operational reporting. Comfortable with both SQL/Oracle ETL and automation tooling, he pairs deep database work (including CLR and geospatial SQL) with productivity-enhancing PowerShell and small web utilities. Based in Minneapolis, he prefers 100% remote, corp-to-corp engagements and brings a pragmatic engineer’s focus on maintainability, documentation, and reproducible builds. An uncommon strength is his blend of BI semantics and hands-on scripting—he not only models semantic layers for users but also writes the build/distribution and SharePoint/Outlook modules that make deployments repeatable.
