Malcolm Farrugia.
I turn complexity into clarity.
An analytical thinker with a creative edge — working across data engineering, architecture, and business intelligence. I approach every problem by finding the patterns others overlook and building systems that make the complex feel simple. Currently shaping data platforms in Malta's iGaming industry.
What I Do
With a background spanning business intelligence, data engineering, and CRM, I connect the dots between raw data and real business value. I've worked across iGaming, finance, insurance, affiliate marketing, and manufacturing — always with a focus on building solutions that scale and empower the people who use them.
Data Architecture & Engineering
Designing end-to-end data platforms — from ingestion and transformation to warehousing and serving — with a focus on performance, reliability, and clean architecture.
Business Intelligence
Translating business questions into insightful dashboards and reports. Experienced in helping stakeholders at every level uncover the metrics that truly matter.
Data Modeling & ETL
Building efficient, scalable data models and robust ETL/ELT pipelines — from star schemas to medallion architectures — with data quality baked in from the start.
Training & Enablement
Empowering teams to work with data confidently. I've trained developers, management, and executives on BI tools and helped colleagues earn professional certifications.
