We design, build and improve data platforms on Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and Azure, with testing, observability and data quality built into the delivery rather than added at the end.
Lakehouse builds on Unity Catalog and Delta Lake, Workflows orchestration, Delta Live Tables, and Databricks SQL for downstream analytics. Deployed into your own Azure or AWS UK.
OneLake and workspace design, Data Factory pipelines, Lakehouse and Warehouse items, Real-Time Intelligence, and semantic models feeding Power BI — with capacity sizing that.
Most data platforms are not failing because the technology is wrong. They fail because the workspace layout, access model, and storage layers were decided ad hoc, and nobody can now change anything without breaking a downstream report.
Plenty of UK organisations are running business-critical reporting on SSIS packages written a decade ago, on-premises SQL Server, or a first-generation Synapse workspace that has outgrown its design. The migration keeps getting deferred because nobody can say.
A lakehouse full of clean tables is not the same thing as an organisation that can answer its own questions. The gap is usually the model — no agreed grain, no shared definitions, and three different versions of revenue depending on which report you open.
This is where our data work and our assurance work meet. We came to data engineering from testing, and we treat a pipeline the same way we treat a model — it is not finished until there is evidence it behaves correctly, and a suite that keeps proving it.
Not everything needs to be real time, and we will say so when a nightly batch is the right answer. But fraud screening, operational dashboards, telemetry, and event-driven workflows do need it — and they need it to keep working when a source system goes quiet.
Databricks and Fabric both make it easy to spend a great deal of money without noticing. Oversized clusters that never scale down, capacity units bought for a peak that happens twice a month, and queries scanning far more data than they need are the usual.
Tell us what you are running. We will review your architecture, pipelines, and spend, and come back within two working days with the three things worth fixing first — at no cost, under NDA.
