Frank never stays still, and he brings this drive to the teams he works with. His passion lies in technology, and he immerses himself in the latest developments in Azure and .NET (especially on mobile devices). However, he’s also the first to recognize that technology alone won’t suffice; it must be combined with an aversion to inefficiency. Over the past year, he has been actively implementing DevOps practices at Luminis.

His ambition extends beyond technology—Frank aims to apply this drive from his role as an Architect. He enjoys helping clients enhance efficiency through the use of cloud-native solutions.

But having a good idea isn’t enough; you must also convey and share it. That’s why Frank enjoys speaking about his field, as evident in his blogs and conference presentations.

Anthony has been a technology leader for over 10 years at the sharp end of business, starting out in digital productivity which quickly developed to wrap around data and analytics. With his primary focus being on business optimisation to make for efficient and well run organisations, learning how to interpret systems data was a basic inevitability. After five years behind the wheel of PowerBI in earnest, Anthony went freelance to enable him to bring his services to organisations who couldn't get the meaning out of their own data, and the wider M365 ecosystem. Outside his work Ant is the proud husband and father of two pre-teen boys and a lover of adventures of any kind whether that's mountain biking, wildcamping, snowsport or even just the big thrills at waterparks and theme parks with the family. From a young age he has always been curious about how things work and loves nothing more than building a shed or stripping a bike. So naturally problem solving with data was always going to be an attraction!
