The Journey : Early days to How I got here
I started my career with a small company as a COM Component developer.
Eventually I shifted to Datawarehousing as an ETL developer and worked
on various tools like Informatica, Business Object Data Integrator
(BODI). As a result of my interest towards Datawaringhousing I got a
good exposure in Oracle, PL/SQL and SQL performance tuning. As a result
of my Retail domain experience I got an opportunity to work on another
ETL tool: Datastage 7.5 and DB2 database.Presently I am working as a
technical architect where I am involved in finance mart enhancements and
designing web analytics DW.
Decisions that mattered
Some of the important career decisions were shifting technology from
Microsoft COM development to BI and Datawarehousing and choosing retail
industry for Datawarehousing development.
Work and Role: Then and now
My present job requires thought and technical leadership with fair
business process understanding, my previous job comparatively had more
hands-on on the ETL jobs design and PL/SQL programming.
Two Years Down the Line
I see myself taking exciting challenges around enterprise information architecture.
What I learnt along the way
Being in a knowledge based industry our primary focus should be on
gaining loads of knowledge. Set a short and long term goal in terms of
work, progressively add each day to achieve that goal and always try to
find the better way to do your work.
My advice if you are starting out
In-memory data structure like QlikView, Tableau is bringing new
trend of mobile BI and Realtime BI. A new era will begin in BI pyramid
with the entrance of Cloud BI. BigData analytics is the next step of
analytics. Hadoop, HBase and Hive are the emerging technologies in
analytics. Company like Cloud era, and Karmasphere is already helping in
Big data development. Though these are not replacements of Enterprise
DW, it has given new edge to analytics.
Must have skills in BI.. As I see them
Firstly we need to ask ourselves: Do I have enough interest and passion
for this domain?Once you decide on the technology then always start with
the fundamentals. Because it doesn’t matter how far the technology
goes, basics never change.Challenge yourself with something which is a
little difficult to achieve and also dare to do mistakes. Learn from
those mistakes and keep your learning curve steep with the right
attitude. Always Remember, excellence is not a skill it is an
attitude.Big Data analytics is an emerging technology in analytics. I
recommend readers to focus on Hadoop, Hive and open source in
distributed file processing and to keep track of everyday inventions and
improvements in Bigdata analytics.
