To achieve this, we are growing our Data Chapter which is working with the business to build a new large-scale, cloud hosted, secure, and consolidated data and analytics platform to allow our users to work with all their data from a single trusted platform.

The platform uses the economics of big data, cloud elasticity, Machine Learning (ML)/Artificial Intelligence (AI) automation and permissioned data sharing to turn information into business insights and address business and operational challenges.

Our Data/Platform engineers are accountable for the development and operations of the Data Platform to get maximum value from data for our users.

Concerning the Tech Stack, there are many technologies that make us tick, some of which include; AWS S3, Redshift, SQL, Python, PySpark, and any more.
