Ust Oldfield

I help others unlock value in data through consulting, mentoring and knowledge sharing. I love learning new technology and new ways of implementation - whether that's driven by people, process, or technology; and sharing those learnings with the wider community. When not learning, working or knowledge sharing , I love spending time with my family and cooking up delicious storms in the kitchen.
