The Joy of Building with Data

Data runs our economy. From retail and finance to health care and government, operational data makes the world go round.
Data visionaries move this world forward. They envision how to improve the status quo or build entire new products and experiences with their organization’s data.

Building with data is hard. It’s a fight against bureaucracy, complex data systems, cost, data silos, and inertia.

Building with data is also incredibly rewarding and joyful. Taking raw data and crafting it into a jewel of innovation and progress is an empowering experience of actualization.

Building With Data is a newsletter for the engineers, architects, operators, and business leaders who dare to build something new with their organization’s data. This newsletter synthesizes the practical advice and valuable lessons I’ve learned from data visionaries I’ve met throughout my career and some I’ve picked up along the way. It looks at technology trends that enable data innovation. It explores the business dynamics that propel and impede building with data.

I know you are busy building, so each issue is short, to the point, and free of buzzwords.

If you enjoy building with data, you’re in the right place.

Let’s get to work.
