Tamarack Technology, an independent software solutions company in the equipment finance and commercial lending industry, expanded its Tamarack.ai team with the addition of Brian Turner. In his role as a data engineer, Turner will be focused on increasing the company’s data integration, structured storage and analysis capabilities, integrating equipment finance software in Tamarack’s Azure and Power data platforms.
