Talks, workshops and practical sessions on data engineering, Microsoft Fabric, SQL Server, AI and cloud architecture.
I share practical lessons from designing, operating and troubleshooting data platforms. My sessions focus on architecture, performance, production engineering and real implementation tradeoffs.
A focused 30–60 minute session with architecture, examples and practical takeaways.
A practical, discussion-friendly session for local user groups and communities.
An online session with live demos and time for questions.
Hands-on guided session with architecture, code and exercises.
A session adapted to a team’s own platform, constraints and questions.
A conversation on architecture, engineering practice or AI with other practitioners.
Session topics available for meetups, conferences, webinars and internal sessions. None of these is tied to a scheduled event yet.
The architecture decisions that decide whether a Fabric platform stays manageable as data, teams and workloads grow: workload boundaries, Lakehouse vs Warehouse, Medallion layers, capacity, Git and observability.

Bronze, Silver and Gold as responsibilities rather than mandatory boxes: when all three layers help, when fewer are better, and how Delta, incremental processing, file design and data quality fit in.

An evidence-first workflow for production performance problems: scope, DMVs, blocking, execution plans, Query Store, statistics, indexes and large tables, in the order that finds the cause fastest.

What changes when Delta tables reach billions of rows: partitioning, file sizing, MERGE, incremental processing, small files, compaction and concurrent writers.
Formats: Talk · Webinar · Internal session
How a Fabric notebook or pipeline gets from a developer's workspace to production safely: Git integration, dev/test/prod workspaces, deployments, environment configuration and release practices.
Formats: Talk · Workshop · Webinar · Internal session
How to connect language models to enterprise data safely: retrieval, controlled SQL access, tool calling, authorization, validation and observability, and why most of the safety lives outside the model.
