Andrew Jones

Principal Engineer, mostly focussed on infra and data platforms. Invented Data Contracts as an architecture pattern to improve the quality and reliability of data, and to drive a culture change towards truly data-driven organisations. Then wrote the book on it (available from Amazon!).

Outside of work I’m kept busy by my young family and - when I do have free time! - enjoy doing 🏃, learning 📚, and brewing 🍺.
