Data Warehouses & Lakehouses Data Transformation & Orchestration Data Ingestion & Integration Business Intelligence & Visualisation Data Quality & Governance Streaming & Real-Time

Our data practice is built on the modern data stack, cloud-native warehouses, SQL-based transformation with dbt, and enterprise BI platforms, with the data governance and quality frameworks that make analytical output trustworthy. We integrate AI and ML capabilities directly into data platforms where the use case warrants it, rather than treating data engineering and AI as separate practices.

Focus 01

Data Warehouses & Lakehouses

Snowflake and Google BigQuery cover most of our cloud data warehouse implementations, selected based on a client's existing cloud provider and data volume, and Databricks handles lakehouse architectures where structured and unstructured data need to live in one platform. Amazon Redshift and Azure Synapse come in for clients already committed to those ecosystems, and DuckDB is our tool of choice for fast, local analytical workloads.

Technologies we use
Snowflake Google BigQuery Databricks (Delta Lake) Amazon Redshift Azure Synapse Analytics ClickHouse DuckDB Apache Iceberg Apache Hudi
Focus 02

Data Transformation & Orchestration

dbt is the single highest-leverage tool in our data stack, bringing version control, testing, and self-documenting lineage to SQL transformation logic that used to live in untracked scripts. Apache Airflow orchestrates the pipelines around it, with Prefect or Dagster used where a client's team prefers a more Python-native orchestration model.

dbt (data build tool) Apache Airflow Prefect Dagster Apache Spark Apache Flink dbt Cloud Astronomer (managed Airflow) Mage AI
Focus 03

Data Ingestion & Integration

Fivetran and Airbyte cover the vast majority of our ingestion needs, between them supporting hundreds of SaaS sources without any custom integration code to maintain. For cloud-native pipelines we use AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or Google Dataflow, and Debezium handles change data capture when a client needs near real-time replication from an operational database.

Focus 04

Business Intelligence & Visualisation

Power BI and Tableau are our standard enterprise BI platforms, and the work that makes them actually useful is the semantic model design underneath, not just the dashboards on top. Looker fits well where a client wants governed, code-defined metrics, and Metabase or Apache Superset cover lighter-weight, self-service BI needs.

Technologies we use
Tableau Microsoft Power BI Looker / Looker Studio Metabase Apache Superset Redash Observable Grafana (operational metrics) Streamlit (data apps)
Focus 05

Data Quality & Governance

dbt tests and Great Expectations validate data at every pipeline stage, catching quality issues before they reach a dashboard or a model. For governance and lineage at a larger scale, we implement OpenMetadata or DataHub, and Monte Carlo adds data observability that flags anomalies a static test wouldn't catch.

Technologies we use
dbt tests & expectations Great Expectations Soda Core Apache Atlas OpenMetadata DataHub Monte Carlo (data observability) Atlan Collibra
Focus 06

Streaming & Real-Time

Apache Kafka and Apache Flink handle the majority of our streaming and real-time processing work, with AWS Kinesis or Google Pub/Sub used when a client's pipeline is already built on that cloud's native services. Materialize and Apache Pinot come in for use cases that need queryable, low-latency views over streaming data.

Technologies we use
Apache Kafka Apache Flink AWS Kinesis Google Pub/Sub Confluent Platform RisingWave Apache Pinot Druid Materialize
What this stack enables

A data platform your teams trust and your AI systems can rely on.

dbt is the highest-leverage tool in the stack.

Version control, testing, and self-documenting lineage for SQL transformation logic that used to live in scripts.

Warehouse and orchestration, matched to your cloud.

Snowflake or BigQuery as the warehouse, Airflow or Prefect for orchestration, selected by data volume and provider.

Data and AI, not separate practices.

Anomaly detection, natural language queries, and model outputs feed back into the platform your teams already trust.

What we use this for
01

Snowflake and BigQuery

As cloud data warehouses, selected based on existing cloud provider, data volume, and cost requirements

02

dbt

03

Apache Airflow

For pipeline orchestration, scheduling, monitoring, alerting, and retry logic for all data workflows

04

Fivetran and Airbyte

For managed and open-source ELT connectors, covering 300+ SaaS sources with no custom integration maintenance

05

Power BI and Tableau

For enterprise BI deployment, semantic model design, report development, and self-service enablement

06

Data quality frameworks
