About
Hi, I'm Michael Kahan
I've been in data engineering since 2015, supporting data platforms at startups and large enterprises. Over time I kept seeing the same pattern at smaller companies: there was only one or two people responsible for running the entire data architecture, with nobody to tell them whether they were building it right.
I started Kahan Data Solutions in 2021 to be that second opinion. I review the architecture, then work weekly with the team to get one deliverable right end to end, without over complicating it too early. I also teach data engineering on YouTube, where a lot of the patterns I use with clients started.
