I’m taking a real interest in e-commerce in 2022. COVID has changed the way we work, and the way we shop. With that in mind I thought I’d look for insights into this as I delve further into marketing and retail use cases and how architecture can help you transform.

I am particularly interested in how new and advanced technologies intersect with innovation and new business models to deliver outstanding experiences to customers.
