Services

Three focused offerings — delivered end-to-end.

Scoped engagements with fixed deliverables. Ideal when a full hire is too slow and generic consultancies are too expensive.

Microsoft Fabric Implementation & Migration

Design and migrate to Fabric with a clear Medallion architecture and predictable cost.

  • Synapse / ADF → Fabric migration
  • Bronze / Silver / Gold Lakehouse design
  • Capacity sizing & cost optimization

Legacy Data Modernization

Turn ageing VB, C#, VBA, Access ETL — or Shopify/Woo/Amazon exports — into modern Python and Fabric pipelines.

  • VB / C# / VBA → Python & PySpark
  • Shopify / WooCommerce / Amazon → Fabric
  • Excel / Access → Lakehouse tables

CI/CD for Data Platforms

Ship data changes safely with Azure DevOps pipelines built for Fabric and Databricks.

  • Git integration for Fabric workspaces
  • Deployment pipelines & environment promotion
  • Automated tests for data assets

Who I work with

Two sectors. Deep focus.

PROGNET focuses on two sectors where I can move fastest and add the most value — because the domain is already in my head.

Charity & non-profit

Four years embedded in the charity sector. Donor reporting, grant management, beneficiary data, and cost-conscious Fabric implementations for trustees and funders.

🛍

E-commerce & retail

Small and mid-size online sellers on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Amazon. Consolidate sales, inventory, ads, and accounting data into a single Fabric-powered dashboard.

How I work

A predictable 4-step engagement.

01

Discover

A short call to understand your stack, constraints, and target outcome.

02

Scope

Fixed-price proposal with milestones, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.

03

Deliver

Weekly demos, source in your git, everything built in your tenancy.

04

Handover

Documentation, runbook, and a knowledge-transfer session with your team.

About PROGNET

One senior engineer. Two decades of shipped data platforms.

PROGNET is an independent consultancy focused on Microsoft Fabric, Azure data services, and legacy data modernization — working primarily with charity/non-profit organisations and small-to-mid e-commerce retailers. Behind it is a senior engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience, from VB6 and C# to today's Python, PySpark, and Fabric Lakehouses.

Four years embedded in the charity sector give me real domain knowledge — donors, grants, trustees, GDPR. And for e-commerce sellers, I've built the pipelines that pull Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, and accounting data into one place decision-makers can actually use.
