Bio
Kurt Zahra
Daniel joined my team as a senior data engineer during a time of company reorganisation. From the start I was impressed with Daniel's technical ability and knowledge in the telco sphere. Daniel's dedication, passion for technology and attention to detail is one of a kind. I feel grateful to have worked with Daniel as his integrity and trustworthiness were key in our work. I would definitely recommend Daniel for any data engineering role as I firmly believe he would add great value to any organisation.
Chris Attard
At the time of writing, Daniel is the only senior data engineer in GO's Data Engineering team. His role as a senior provides a reference point to his colleagues and indeed, he does that with the highest professionalism possible. Daniel has been entrusted to drive the team's most complex and advanced projects over the past 3+ years, and he mentors many of his team colleagues to deliver projects on time and as required from GO's internal customers. Given Daniel's leadership role in the team, he is now leading GO's transformation from a legacy platform based on traditional SQL-based databases, to one based on Hadoop's stack of Big Data technologies which will enable new insights into GO's business in real time and transform GO to a real data-oriented company. Daniel has a can-do attitude that is admirable, and I have no problem recommend him to anyone seeking to employ a data engineering professional to lead major technical projects in the data domain.
