Messing around with boats and databases.
Sometimes data systems, sometimes security, sometimes ai/ml, sometimes a blend of it all.

I've been exploring how to do Iceberg with the fewest dependencies possible.

I'm looking forward to see you in person at the Iceberg summit in SF tomorrow.
I'll be speaking about the evolution of data storage from Hadoop to Iceberg and how we're witnessing the Advent of The Open Data Lake.
