Liam McNeil

I have 4 years experience in consulting with Deloitte Digital based in London, UK, specialising as a Senior Tableau Developer and a data engineer. I have worked across several industries including retail, finance, public sector and TMT. I am proficient in a variety of analytics tools from web analytics (Google and Adobe Analytics) to BI tools (Tableau, Google Looker Studio) and am highly skilled in SQL, having worked with Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, and Snowflake.

I am highly data literate and have a strong track record in self-directed learning of new coding languages and tools. I can quickly adapt and upskill based on the fundamentals of data analytics and data engineering that I have developed during my time at Deloitte, backed up by my analytical expertise built during my PhD.

Deloitte Digital, London, Senior Consultant (Jun 2022 - Present)

• Led an e-commerce analytics workstream for a large UK retailer with annual revenues of £10bn. Through pioneering the creation of the first series of Tableau dashboards across their business, I identified £5m in potential annual savings through optimising product substitutions and supply chain operations. One dashboard was selected as a “Success Story” by Tableau technical experts and used as an exemplar to enhance Tableau adoption across the UK firm.
• Acted as a Tableau SME, providing on the ground training as well as recording a series of 10 webcasts for the client team, disseminated on a national scale with a reach of 2,500 employees. 
• Developed detailed technical designs for the streamlined future state data architecture of a new order fulfilment system. The new data pipeline designs enabled live data streaming to achieve improved, intraday reporting, compared to the 2 day lag their legacy system managed. This broke down silos of 5 different data warehouses to create a single source of truth.
• Was extended 8 times by client request and led 5 different workstreams, gaining autonomy, responsibility and building strong relationships with the client executive team. 
• Supported the first implementation of Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) for Deloitte UK at a large airline company, which will be fundamental to achieving their 100% growth objective.
• Led a cutting edge Deloitte business proposition by designing a measurement framework for Metaverse analytics. This framework was subsequently implemented for a key client account.

Deloitte Digital, London, Consultant (Sep 2021 - May 2022)

• Fast-track promoted to senior consultant (9 months instead of 2 years) in a 60+ person cohort.

  Independently and proactively self-taught SQL to enable me to lead the data engineering team for a high-profile public sector client, which included setting up the data pipeline to deliver critical daily insights, during the roll out of a national COVID-19 healthcare program.

• Identified and flagged absence of >5 million test products from records, enabling fast data pipeline correction. It was critical to deliver accurate national reporting of COVID-19 spread in vulnerable communities, so that senior government officials could refine public health strategy.

Deloitte Digital, London, Analyst (Sep 2019 - Aug 2021)

• Autonomously led dashboard creation for WebOps to track site performance, across three retail clients. The dashboards pinpointed customer blockers and enabled fast initiation of fixes.
• These dashboards yielded estimated savings upwards of £100k and led to extended scope; a multi-year project with two Analysts, whilst I retained an advisory role as an SME.
