Randy has refactored mission-critical SAS workloads into PySpark at systemically important financial institutions and led large-scale GDPR-compliant PII detection and cloud migrations processing petabyte-scale SAS datasets. He authored Python for SAS Users and maintains a practical companion site with cloud, clustering, container, and orchestration implementation patterns that bridge legacy analytics to modern platforms.
