Platforms That Feed AI and Analytics
Databricks lakehouses, Snowflake warehouses, real-time pipelines with Dynatrace observability. We build data platforms that feed AI, power analytics, and run 24/7 with SLAs. Not architecture diagrams, production code that handles millions of records per second.
- Cut data latency 30%+ with real-time pipelines
- Unify scattered data into single source of truth
- Enable AI-ready data products from day one
- Instrument observability so you see issues before users
40+ enterprise data platforms deployed | 30%+ average latency reduction
What We Actually Build
We build data platforms on Databricks, Snowflake, and AWS/Azure cloud data services. This isn't abstract architecture, it's production code that handles your data volumes, meets your SLAs, and feeds your AI models.
Most enterprises have data scattered across 10-50 systems accumulated over decades of acquisitions, point solutions, and organic growth. We consolidate that chaos into a governed lakehouse where every dataset has lineage, quality scores, and access controls.
We've done this 40+ times for Fortune 500 companies. When something breaks at 2am, we're on the call with you.

Our Data Engineering Process
From engagement to production: how we work
Discovery & Architecture
Assess your current data landscape, understand business requirements, and design the target architecture.
Foundation & Setup
Platform provisioning, security framework, governance setup. The foundation everything builds on.
Build & Iterate
Iterative development in 2-week sprints. Build pipelines, transform data, create data products.
Launch & Stabilize
Production deployment with monitoring, alerting, and runbooks. We stabilize until SLAs are met.
Optimize & Scale
Continuous optimization, cost management, and feature enhancements.
