Hi, my name is Michael Kahan
I'm a data consultant, creator of The Modern Engineer Playbook & The Playbook for dbt™.
You can also find me on YouTube (32K+ subs, 3M+ views) sharing data engineering tutorials & best practices.
Over the past decade, I've built & maintained over a dozen data architectures at start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.
Teams love modern data tools for how quickly they can get started but often end up overwhelmed, or worse, making a mess.
But with a clear strategy, hands-on support and an end-to-end example to follow, your data-life becomes much easier.
There are plenty of consulting firms that help large enterprises, but I only work with data teams of 5 or less.
So if that sounds like you and you want to fast-track your new data architecture, I'd love to help!
