Bio
Lindsay Housman
Brian is a fantastic team member. He has an positive can do attitude and is willing to learn and take on tasks and projects that are new to him. He is very detailed oriented and follows his tasks through, knowing how to operate autonomously but reaching out for help when needed. Brian was responsible for all BA/QA work related to our ecomm platform, which is critical business system. He assisted in managing our partner relationship with an external SI as well as learning all the integrations related to ecomm. He participated in requirements gathering through to end to end testing. Brian also helped coordinate our internal datawarehouse development and worked with key departments to understand their needs and help translate in to report requirements. I would love to have the opportunity to work with Brian in the future again. Lindsay

Brian joined the team 6 months ago to help mature our processes while still keeping the pace of development required to support growth. Brian is one of those BA's that can walk into a program or project, add structure and support while keeping the team agile enough to keep moving forward. Although Brian's ecommerce experience at the time was minimal, he was able to rely on his cross functional experiences to help elicit requirements, support end to end testing and to roll out our user acceptance testing process. Brian brings a sense of curiosity with him that allows him to quickly understand what the goals are, what is required to get there and how to manage risk along the way. Any technical delivery team would be lucky to have him.

Started at Teekay as a Crystal Report writer and then transitioned into the Business Objects platform administrator. After that system was operational and self sufficient, assigned to be responsible for all things SSRS (Report creation and migration) and SharePoint (2007/2010/O365). Administration, training, troubleshooting and documentation for the Sharepoint & SSRS system. Which later included Office 365 features such as Onedrive, Delve, PowerBI. In the end, data was where the heart is. Realigning back to the business intelligence realm and positioned to help set up BI systems. Assisted in understanding the meaning behind all the data, and find a "one true source" home of all our systems data in the warehouse. Project wise, the main focus of the role was becoming the lead coordinator for BI related projects. Side projects included the migration of reports from older Crystal and SSRS platforms over to Power BI Report Server.
