As a professional data whisperer, Dillon leads a team that turns mountains of messy information into “Aha!” moments. Essentially, they help businesses find the genius ideas hidden in their data to make smarter, faster decisions.
He gets a huge kick out of being the official translator between the folks who speak “business” and the geniuses who speak “Python.” His main goal is to make data a friendly sidekick for every team, not a scary monster to be avoided.
Away from the data, Dillon’s hobbies include testing the laws of physics by building intentionally wobbly furniture and trying to outsmart fish. When all else fails, he brews his own beer to make his furniture look straight and to toast the one that got away.
Session Overview
Beyond the Big Bang: Building a Modern Data Platform for Continuous Business Value
In today’s ever changing business environment, the traditional “big bang” approach to building a data analytics platform is no longer practical. These large-scale, multi-year projects often fail to deliver timely value, struggle with budget overruns, lose stakeholder momentum long before completion, and often ultimately fail to answer the original questions raised by the business.
In this session we ditch the fluff and the pitfalls with a hands-on, adaptive approach that turns your data team from a cost centre into a competitive weapon.
We will discuss a practical blueprint for developing a modern data analytics platform incrementally.
We’ll show you how to shape your data and tech setup around what the business actually needs right now — focusing on high-impact use cases that get real results, fast. Together, we’ll dive into how Agile thinking and MVP principles can help your team build and launch useful analytics tools in weeks, not years.
Join us for a practical session on how to build real momentum with your data — one meaningful step at a time. We’ll talk about creating a rhythm where each delivery builds trust, drives real business results, and keeps your stakeholders coming back for more. You’ll walk away with a clear, usable framework to shape a data platform that grows with your business and keeps answering the big questions as they evolve.
