04 ABOUT ANTHONY

Senior experience. Practical perspective.

I’m Anthony Ganley, a Senior Data Platform Consultant helping organisations make their enterprise data platforms work better.

My strongest established background is in SQL Server, enterprise data warehousing, data engineering and technical architecture. That foundation informs my work across Azure, Microsoft Fabric and platform modernisation.

I bring a practical architecture perspective to platform assessment, performance troubleshooting and migration planning — connecting the needs of an existing environment with a considered path forward.

My Databricks focus includes lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, medallion design, SQL and PySpark, supported by continuing practical development.
