Architecture and data products
Design warehouse, lakehouse or distributed data products around actual access patterns, change rates and lifecycle costs.
Data & AI Engineering
Develop data platforms around real operational requirements
We design and build platforms that make information from ERP, CRM, production and other sources available to analytics and applications. Architecture, data contracts, quality, access and ongoing operations are engineered together.
Fragmented source systems, unreliable extracts and conflicting definitions prevent companies from using their data. A new platform alone does not resolve ownership, data contracts or operational failures.
We first identify which applications and decisions consume the data, the actual freshness requirements and accountable teams. Only then do we choose between extending existing systems, a warehouse, a lakehouse or distributed data products.
Design warehouse, lakehouse or distributed data products around actual access patterns, change rates and lifecycle costs.
Connect APIs, CDC, events and batch feeds with versioned schemas, retries and traceable lineage.
Build stable business entities, history, semantic models and interfaces for BI and applications.
Enforce permissions, sensitive-data handling, quality tests and clear responsibility.
Monitor freshness, job failures, query performance and infrastructure cost.
Batch and streaming are alternatives driven by process requirements, not maturity labels. A reliable daily batch may outperform fragile real-time pipelines.
Warehouse, lakehouse and federation have different trade-offs. Data contracts, idempotency, access, deletion and change control are more important than a fashionable architecture.
Clarify business need, frequency, confidentiality and decision-critical metrics.
Review sources, identifiers, volumes, interfaces, quality and existing investments.
Select storage, processing, access patterns and a phased migration path.
Implement one measurable data flow with tests, monitoring and ownership.
Add sources iteratively and review quality, costs and adoption.
Not necessarily. Distributed data products or improved existing integrations can be sufficient if they meet quality, cost and access requirements.
Choose against real query patterns, formats, governance and operational costs, not terminology.
With shared contracts, ownership, documented interfaces and quality checks.
With a bounded data product that has a measurable consumer and manageable dependencies.
Technical discovery
We review the existing systems, technical constraints and a measurable first delivery step.
