Bio
Jason Adams
I had the great pleasure of working with James on a number of data projects with the Microsoft Corporation. He was a real asset to the team, delivering high impact metrics and dashboards. I was particularly impressed by his ability to use both existing BI tools (like SQL and PowerBI) as well as coding his own implementations using Microsoft proprietary Big Data solutions. James was a key member of our team, and a big part of our success.
