A list of things that I am currently exploring OR working on
October 2025
Made some progress on the goals from May 2023. Explored various ways to implement and sell the concept of Data Mesh and it’s impact in automotive industry. Implemented a ‘limited’ version of the mesh at my employer using Databricks.
Exploring now –
- The intricacies of platform engineering – how to define it? how to make a platform work for data mesh?
- ‘Product Thinking’ – to make platform work at it’s full potential
- Gravel Riding – took up a little bit of cycling on gravel tracks.
- And of course – AI. I am curious to see how deterministic problems can be automated using the power of AI based automation.
May 2023
I have been spending this spring to explore –
How the world of data (which runs disjoint from software world) could potentially work at the same pace as software?
How can we incorporate software lifecycle management workflows like version control, continuous delivery, blue green deployments to data world?
So far this search has led to to exploring the world of –
- Data Mesh
- Data Lakehouse architectures
- Data lakes
I have also been dabbling into the world of how to define a good data strategy. This has led me to world of Wardley Maps and the works of Roger Martin to understand strategy a little better.
