Senior Data Architect Game Lounge

Robert Cassar Pace is the Senior Data Architect at Game Lounge, where he leads the company’s data team spanning Data Engineering, Data Science, and Business Intelligence. With a hands-on approach and a deep understanding of what makes data actually useful, Robert focuses on building scalable systems and empowering teams to make smarter, faster decisions.

Since stepping into the role, he has overseen a full migration from Looker to Omni in under 90 days, introduced frameworks to reduce dashboard clutter by over 80%, and helped roll out initiatives that build lasting trust in data across the organisation. His team is also responsible for integrating observability tools, surfacing predictive insights, and enabling a culture where data is part of the everyday workflow.

Robert is particularly passionate about helping non-technical teams become data-driven, and believes that well-structured data, automation, and the right level of storytelling can unlock huge value in any business. When he’s not building data systems or helping others make sense of them, he’s usually tinkering with new tools, discussing football (soccer), playing video games, or travelling.

Migrating your BI platform sounds daunting — especially when you’re staring down hundreds of dashboards, years of legacy content, and a hard deadline. At Game Lounge, we made the leap from Looker to Omni, migrating over 800 dashboards in under three months — without disrupting the business.

In this session, we’ll walk through the practical playbook behind our successful migration: how we scoped the project, prioritised what mattered most, and moved quickly without compromising quality. We’ll share how we phased the migration, reduced dashboard sprawl by over 80%, and leaned on Omni’s AI-assisted features to accelerate setup and streamline cleanup.

We’ll also touch on how we kept quality high post-migration — introducing initiatives like dashboard verification to ensure lasting data trust. And we’ll share what happened next, with over 140 employees now using data to inform decisions every day.

Whether you’re planninga migration or trying to make sense of legacy BI sprawl, this session offers honest lessons, practical frameworks, and time-saving tips to help your team move fast and build smarter.
