Background

About Ryan Fowler

As a seasoned leader with over 10 years in business intelligence (BI) and embedded analytics engineering management, I’ve dedicated my career to transforming complex data into actionable insights that drive business growth and operational efficiency. My expertise spans advanced Tableau development, hands-on full-stack engineering, and mobile app integrations, where I’ve built scalable solutions that empower teams to make informed decisions in real-time. From optimising dashboards for performance, defining visual and architectural standards, to automating data pipelines via APIs, I’ve consistently delivered high-impact projects that democratise access to data and enhance the user experience across multiple interfaces. In my current role at Barclays, I manage engineering and service management operations for a production service supporting over users across multiple regions, achieving 99.99% uptime, while ensuring compliance within a complex security landscape. Leading colleagues across the UK and India, I’ve recently scaled my engineering team, hiring and coaching professionals in their distinct engineering disciplines. I have worked to foster a culture of innovation and experimentation to ensure we stay at the forefront of new technology, whilst accelerating our delivery throughput by 30% by implementing agile methodologies. My hands-on approach includes programmatic interactions with BI tools, full-stack development in React, NodeJS and SQL, and enterprise level BI and solution architecture, all with a focus on evolving our embedded analytics offering for desktop, mobile, tablet and campus display screens for seamless access to data. I’m keen to connect with fellow innovators in BI, with a particular focus or interest in developing embedded analytics platforms and bespoke web apps to bring data to the masses.
