Experience Across Data, AI, Cloud and Enterprise Delivery

18+ years of enterprise delivery

Background

Where I'm coming from

I have spent over 18 years around enterprise data and AI — data architecture, BI, cloud analytics, and more recently Generative and Agentic AI. This site is where I share that perspective: practical writing, working demos, and honest opinions on what holds up in production and what is mostly hype.

The topics I keep coming back to are Retrieval-Augmented Generation, agentic workflow automation, data readiness, BI and analytics, and cloud data engineering across Azure, AWS, and GCP. None of this is professional advice or a pitch — just ideas shared in the open, and a forum where you can ask questions and get my take for free.
