Welcome to The Lakehouse Path
Welcome to "The Lakehouse Path," a dedicated Substack focused on exploring how to build Data Lakehouses.
Who I am
I am Martin, a Data Professional since 2008. I started out as a Data Scientist in the publishing industry, learning the basics using SAS. After three years I moved on to grocery retail and build a team analyzing customer behaviour and building data products around the loyalty program. Over time, my role changed more in the direction on how to architecture the next generation of our data platform. Still being on SAS in 2015, I began exploring Python and ended up with Databricks in 2018 when it was first launched on Azure, which was the cloud provider of our choice back then. Since then, I am designing and building Data Solutions with Databricks.
In 2022, I launched a boutique consultancy called SNOWGLOBE, based in Hamburg, Germany. We focus on enabling our clients to get the most out of their data with Azure Databricks. We already built custom data solution for the retail, construction and financial industry. Our clients range from mid-sized to large scale businesses.
What to Expect
In “The Lakehouse Path” I share what I am learning building data lakehouses and using Databricks. These are the main content categories you will see on this blog:
Databricks Bits & Pieces: On LinkedIn, I share Bit & Pieces about best practises using Databricks. From time to time, I will compile them into longer and more comprehensive posts in this blog.
Deep-Dive Tutorials: Occasional in-depth guides and tutorials that explore complex topics and advanced techniques in Databricks.
Thank you for joining me on "The Lakehouse Path."
