Adrian Miley’s Summary
I’m an experienced Enterprise Data Architect and Business Analyst specialising in architecting and leading the development of large scale data processing environments.
I would regard myself as a “data architecture generalist” having had roles across the entire Software Development Lifecycle from initial business requirements analysis through to administration of operational systems but nowadays it’s the big pictures that have the most interest.
A key feature in everything I’ve done over the years is innovation and ground-breaking design through actively seeking out new approaches and architectural patterns that I think have long-term viability.
To be honest some people would regard me as a maverick because I’ve a tendency to push the boundaries when I think it’s better than just taking the safe option and I’ve done some extremely flaky things (at the time) in order to get a solution working.
My highpoint, and most embarrassing moment, was being referenced in a presentation with a slide entitled “Is Adrian Miley a Magician?” after I’d managed to do something that everyone else (including specialist consultants) had said was not possible at the time.
I’ve a long track record of doing that but, as with a lot of people in the IT industry, nailing difficult problems is what gives me a buzz. To paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke, “The impossible is just something we don’t yet know how to do” but given time I’ll figure it out!
