Track record

Data projects with a clear business purpose.

Selected systems delivered during Tal Shany’s career across hospitals, telecoms, banking and infrastructure. Each example explains the business problem, the work delivered and the outcome. These include roles before BiSkilled; client names are withheld where confidentiality requires it.

Healthcare

Department P&L, budgeting and finance models for a major hospital

SAP (incl. R/3)Finance modellingData warehouseETLDashboards & reporting

The challenge. Hospital leadership ran operations on SAP (incl. R/3), but finance visibility stopped at whole-organisation level. Department heads had no true profit & loss view, budgeting was a manual spreadsheet exercise, and every planning cycle depended on one-off data pulls.

What we built. Full department-level profit & loss models across the hospital, a structured budgeting framework, and organisation-wide finance models — built on data integrated from the SAP operational systems, with the dashboards and reports finance teams use day to day.

Outcome: Every department gained a true P&L and an owned budget; planning moved from annual spreadsheet archaeology to a repeatable, data-driven cycle on one agreed set of numbers.
Telecom

Large-scale Python ETL platform for a telecom operator

PythonETL / data pipelinesOrchestrationData warehouseMonitoring

The challenge. Massive data volumes across operational and business systems, moved by a patchwork of brittle jobs and manual steps. Integrations broke silently, and every new data need meant weeks of one-off engineering.

What we built. A large-scale, Python-based ETL platform: ingestion from the operator's core systems, transformation and validation layers, and orchestrated, monitored pipelines — engineered as reusable tooling rather than one-off scripts.

Outcome: Data movement became automated, observable and reusable — new sources and targets are onboarded as configuration on the same tooling instead of new projects.

What the platform brought together

The work combined ingestion from operational systems, Python transformation and validation, and pipeline orchestration and monitoring. Those components addressed different parts of the problem: getting data in, preparing it for downstream use, and making data movement operable.

The reusable tooling mattered because each additional integration could use the same platform. The reported outcome was a repeatable way to onboard sources and targets, rather than a separate set of scripts for every request.

How this relates to your data project

If your reporting depends on fragile jobs, start by identifying which report needs the data, which sources feed it and who responds when a run fails. That defines a useful first scope for integration and pipeline work.

For a smaller reporting process, the same questions can guide a focused automation. Our reporting automation guide provides an illustrative workflow and acceptance checklist; it is guidance for a new project, not an account of additional work delivered in this engagement.

Banking

Customer 360 data platform for a bank

Data integrationEntity resolutionData modellingData warehouseGovernance

The challenge. Customer data fragmented across core banking, CRM and channel systems — no single, trusted view of a customer, and every business question about customers required manual reconciliation.

What we built. A unified Customer 360 platform: integration from the source systems, entity resolution into a single customer record, and governed data models serving service, marketing and risk use cases.

Outcome: One reliable customer view across the bank — the shared foundation for service, marketing and risk instead of per-team extracts that never quite agreed.
Finance / Digital assets

Blockchain infrastructure for institutional finance

BlockchainTokenisationInfrastructure & DevOpsDeployment automationSecurity

The challenge. A network for regulated, tokenised institutional assets needs infrastructure that satisfies financial-grade expectations: secure, available, and operable — not a lab prototype.

What we built. Core infrastructure for the blockchain-based network: environment architecture, deployment automation and the operational foundations for running distributed financial infrastructure in production.

Outcome: Production-grade infrastructure underpinning institutional digital-asset workflows — built to be operated, monitored and evolved by an ongoing team.
Cloud platforms

AWS infrastructure across diverse customers

AWSInfrastructure as codeCI/CDMonitoringCost optimisation

The challenge. Growing organisations across sectors needed cloud foundations that scale — without the drift, snowflake servers and surprise bills that come from ad-hoc cloud adoption.

What we built. AWS platform engineering across multiple customers: infrastructure as code, environment and account architecture, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and cost controls — repeatable foundations shaped to each organisation.

Outcome: Reproducible, secure cloud platforms their own teams operate with confidence — releases are routine and infrastructure changes are reviewable code, not tickets.
