About us

Build the foundation. Connect the business. Accelerate intelligence.

Most consultants sell the AI capstone and leave the foundation to someone else. I do the whole stack, in the right order: foundation first, interface second, intelligence last. Three decades in the unglamorous middle means I know where these systems fail — the silent bug that reports success, the undocumented rate limit, the pipeline that quietly drops records. That's the difference between a pilot that stalls and a system that still runs a year from now.

Mirroring or Eventhouse?

A team I was talking with recently had a familiar mid-market reporting problem. Their nightly refresh took eight hours. The data lived in on-premises SQL Server, stitched together with linked servers, and almost none of the tables had indexes. Reports were stale by the time anyone opened them, and if a job failed overnight, they were stale for a full day. They wanted to move to Fabric and build semantic models on top. The first question on the table was whether to connect the linked server to Eventhouse…

The Most Expensive AI Model Is the One You Didn’t Need

There is a growing conversation about the cost of artificial intelligence. Tokens cost money. GPUs cost money. AI subscriptions cost money. Enterprise licensing costs money. As organizations put AI into more business processes, those costs scale surprisingly quickly. All of that is true, and I think most of the conversation is happening at the wrong layer. Before asking what an AI model costs, we should ask two simpler questions: Did this task need an AI model at all, and if it did, did it need that model? That…

Right Tool. Wrong Architecture.

There is a question we should ask more often when evaluating new technology: if we can already solve 95 percent of this problem, what is the remaining 5 percent worth? Not just the difference in licensing cost. What is that 5 percent worth after we account for another platform, another integration, another security model, another place for data to live, another skill set to maintain, and another vendor relationship to manage? I have always believed in using the right tool for the right job. I still do. But…
