Simon S.
Enterprise Data Architect & Fractional CIO | AI Governance,SQL,Oracle
I help organizations modernize, integrate, and optimize their business systems, data platforms, reporting environments, and technology operations. My background spans more than 30 years across healthcare, government, education, telecommunications, retail, and commercial organizations, delivering projects involving enterprise architecture, data platforms, business intelligence, systems integration, cloud migration, AI governance, and technology strategy. I work with business owners, executives, and IT leaders who need practical guidance, not theoretical recommendations. Whether acting as a Fractional CIO, technical advisor, data architect, or hands-on consultant, my focus is helping organizations improve visibility, reduce operational risk, eliminate manual processes, and make better technology decisions. Areas of expertise include: • Fractional CIO and technology leadership • AI governance, risk management, and implementation planning • Data architecture and business intelligence • Systems integration and workflow automation • SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft data platforms • Azure cloud architecture and modernization • Power BI, executive reporting, and operational dashboards • Data warehousing, ETL, and analytics platforms • Technology assessments and strategic roadmaps • Disaster recovery, business continuity, and operational resilience I have designed and supported enterprise-scale environments ranging from mission-critical healthcare platforms and operational data stores to cloud-based reporting, analytics, and business application ecosystems. My experience includes Oracle Exadata, Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, Power BI, Microsoft 365, custom business applications, integrations, and large-scale data migration initiatives. Recent engagements have included AI governance consulting, multi-tenant Azure architecture reviews, data platform modernization, reporting and analytics solutions, database performance optimization, cloud migration planning, and executive technology advisory services. I am equally comfortable working with executives defining strategy, project teams delivering solutions, or technical staff solving complex implementation challenges. If you need an experienced technology leader who can bridge business objectives with practical technical execution, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your project.
