Testimonials from previous clients

“We couldn’t have asked for a more capable partner to execute our data migration from Raiser’s Edge to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Salesforce’s latest solution for nonprofit organizations. Chris initiated the process with a comprehensive sample analysis, laying a solid foundation for the migration. Upon receiving the backup file, Chris systematically mapped and categorized our data, aligning it with Salesforce objects and their relational structures.”

 

 

“In our experience, Migrate Data (we worked with Chris), were knowledgeable about both Raiser’s Edge and Salesforce. They were calm, responsive, spoke in our (non-techy) language, kept to budget and timelines. They were easy and friendly to work with, we had regular check in meetings which were very reassuring. Nothing was insurmountable for them and so from our experience we would recommend Migrate Data to support your CRM move from Raiser’s Edge to Salesforce and would be prepared to chat this through with any potential clients.”

“Chris and Migrate Data have been a fantastic partner for our migration project from Raiser’s Edge to Salesforce. They offered invaluable knowledge of both systems and have helped our team navigate the changes and challenges that come with any large data migration. We have appreciated their commitment to helping us problem solve and complete a complicated project. The whole team has been a pleasure to work with.”

My Experience

2023 - Present

Migrate Data LTD

Data Engineer

At Migrate Data LTD, I lead end-to-end data migration projects, beginning with legacy system analysis and concluding with the implementation of ETL pipelines. I design and build these pipelines using MSSQL and SSIS, particularly for large-scale Salesforce data migrations. My role involves producing detailed reports on client source systems to identify data issues and recommend adjustments for a seamless transition. I also optimise legacy data in SQL SSMS to ensure data quality and compliance with target platform requirements. To improve efficiency, I’ve automated data cleansing, validation, and transformation processes using Python scripts. Additionally, I use Azure services, including Virtual Machines, Storage, and Data Integration, to support robust data infrastructure. A key part of my role is managing client communication, gathering requirements, and ensuring the smooth execution of migration projects.

Freelance Software Developer

As a freelance software developer, I designed and built a custom Python application tailored to the client’s specific needs. The app integrated the Shopify API to automate production workflows, significantly reducing manual effort and streamlining operations. By working closely with the client, I ensured the solution aligned perfectly with their unique requirements and processes.
