Principal Data Architect

My role combines deep technical focus with strategic oversight and I'm fortunate that HSO gives me the freedom and tools to keep evolving.

With over two decades of experience in the data space, George Vourdanos, Principal Data Architect at HSO, is no stranger to designing robust, intelligent solutions. Based in Swindon, George has spent the past two years at HSO shaping enterprise-grade data platforms using Azure, Power BI, and the latest Microsoft technologies, including Fabric.

In his role, George leads the architectural design of data solutions across multiple projects, while staying hands-on with code and delivery. “It’s a role that combines deep technical focus with strategic oversight,” he explains. “And HSO gives me the freedom and tools to keep evolving.”

A passionate technologist, George is driven by a commitment to staying current in a fast-moving field. “The Microsoft Data Landscape is constantly evolving, and HSO supports my growth through ongoing training and certification opportunities. That’s key for staying sharp.”

It’s a friendly, flexible environment, where the professionalism is matched by a strong sense of camaraderie. Compared to other Microsoft Gold Partners I’ve worked with, HSO feels more human, more connected.

One project highlight has been leading the Valeo Foods data platform delivery, working closely with the team to bring structure, insight, and scalability to the client's data strategy.

With the rollout of Microsoft Copilot and AI tools across the business, George is already seeing productivity gains. “Using Copilot in Paint, Word, and PowerPoint has sped up everything from documentation to architectural design. It’s been a great enabler.”

What truly stands out for George is HSO’s culture. “It’s a friendly, flexible environment, where the professionalism is matched by a strong sense of camaraderie. Compared to other Microsoft Gold Partners I’ve worked with, HSO feels more human, more connected.”

His advice for future team members? “Be motivated, be professional, and come join us. We’ll grow, learn, and succeed together.”

For George, it’s been a meaningful and rewarding journey, and he’s only just getting started.
