Managing Consultant & Senior Data Architect at D ONE. I build cloud data platforms on Azure, AWS and Databricks. I teach at FH Graubünden, and from 2027 at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

How to keep clusters, catalogs and permissions in code instead of in someone's browser history.

Clicking through the Azure portal stops working once you have more than one workspace. Here is the Terraform version.

Permissions are not supposed to change without approval. They do anyway, so I built something that puts them back.

Standing up a data catalog you can throw away and rebuild, without clicking through an install wizard.

My hamster runs. A Raspberry Pi counts. The cloud stores it. Nobody asked for this.

From a raw dataset to an XGBoost model that retrains itself, using the SageMaker pieces that actually earn their keep.
