Dr Jon Durrant

25+ years experience of IT and Data experience across academia and commercial sector. I have worked on embedded systems, global enterprise systems, data warehouses and data lake.

In my day job I lead Data and IT departments' architecture functions. I work with the business to align IT and Data Strategy with the Business Strategy. I work to plan out roadmaps of change to address the business challenges and enable IT and Data initiatives to be treated as an investment for return.

In my off hours, I work as a hobby developer working on embedded IoT technologies.  Some of my projects have included smart clocks, a clock that looks like a slot machine, pan and tilt security cameras, and hexapod robots. I primarily develop around the Raspberry PI and Raspberry PICO (RP2040) hardware devices with cloud services from AWS. I develop in a number of languages include C, C++. Java, Python, and Node.
