Steven F.

Hi, I'm Steve Ferraro, thanks for stopping by to take a look at my profile. If you're in search of a skilled data engineer, you're in the right place. I've been doing systems integration, financial modeling, process automation, data presentation and general data wrangling for 20 years in the corporate world and I've worked for some well-known organizations: 🟢 KPMG ($32 billion global business services firm) 🟢 The Reader's Digest Association ($2.4 billion global publisher) 🟢 Comshare, Inc. ($93 million business software developer) 🟢 Borders Group, Inc. ($1.7 billion book and music retailer) 🟢 Avanade ($2 billion Microsoft centric consulting services) I was so successful at the Reader's Digest that our consulting partner, Deloitte and Touche, nominated our project (global planning and analysis) for ⭐CFO Magazine's REACH Awards⭐ which honors excellence in financial process reengineering. We were one of the five finalists in the competition. During my corporate career, I worked as a financial professional with data engineering skills, most recently as the hands-on CFO/CIO of a mid-size manufacturing business. My academic education is in public accounting and information systems; this background and my experience allows me to understand the problems I solve from a business as well as a technical perspective. This has a significant impact on the final product and allows me to work well with business people.

He understands all business functions and processes and is able to build systems and relevant reporting tools for these processes. From complex Access queries to ERP customizations, Steve was always able to figure out how to best solve and address each business case/problem at hand. " Throughout my career I've worked with many technologies, but in the last 15 years I've been using Microsoft's business intelligence stack: 🟢 Power BI 🟢 Reporting Services 🟢 Integration Services 🟢 Analysis Services 🟢 SQL Server Please take a look at my portfolio projects for a sample of some of the work I've done. If you're looking for someone with a passion for this type of work, I'm your man. I'd be honored to discuss your project with you and see if there's a fit. Thanks again for stopping by. Steve Ferraro
