My name is Miles, I’m a Principal Program Manager at Microsoft. While a Spark specialist by role, I have deep knowledge and experience with everything lakehouse to data warehouse design, tuning, CI/CD automation, data modeling, visualization, and API development. I started off my career writing VB script to automate business processes and reporting then eventually Power BI was released and I quickly became shadow IT. After successfully implementing Power BI and starting a BI center of excellence, I was on-boarded into IT and given the opportunity of building my companies’ first cloud data warehouse. Now after dozens of implementations, I love to share what I’ve learned and talk modern data architectures.

I’m a husband and father of 3 and in my free time I love trail running, tennis, homebrewing, baking sourdough, sausage making, reading, and home remodeling.
