Top SchoolSimon Darr is a data and analytics leader with 9 years of experience building and operating large-scale data platforms across Snowflake, Redshift and BigQuery. As a director and former principal consultant, he combines hands-on data engineering (Python, Scala, Spark, Flink, Airflow) with practical cloud and appliance administration (AWS/GCP, Exadata, BDA, ZFS). He has led teams to deliver production Snowflake platforms that removed friction for analysts and data scientists and automated complex ETL pipelines from on-premise systems. Comfortable in both consultancy and delivery roles, he repeatedly bridges strategy and implementation to help enterprises unlock AI and analytics at scale. An early career background in BI (OBIEE, Informatica, Oracle DW) and a software engineering degree give him a rare mix of modern cloud-native tooling and deep legacy-system knowledge. Based in England, he brings a pragmatic, ops-aware approach to architecting resilient data ecosystems.
