About Ian

You’re reading the Substack/Blog of me, Ian Barker.

Who am I? I’m a passionate data specialist based in Australia with 20 years of experience in analytics, engineering, architecture, and governance—essentially, all things data. I excel (no pun intended) at bridging the gap between business needs and data solutions, thriving on transforming insights into impactful strategies.

If you’d really like to, you can find me on LinkedIn.

I work for a company called Insight where I help deliver awesome data and AI services for organisations across APAC.

All the things I write about are my own opinions and don’t necessarily represent the views of Insight or its other employees.

What’s this site about?

This is really a place for me to get my thoughts about different data, AI, and other related tech off my chest or share my ideas or views in the hope that maybe someone, somewhere might find them somewhat interesting. If you do, I’d love you to hear from you by getting involved in conversations or by reaching out to me on LinkedIn.
