Databricks engineering
A lakehouse that is governed, fast and affordable.
Databricks built as a platform, not a notebook: medallion architectures on Delta, Unity Catalog from day one, and PySpark pipelines engineered for cost as much as throughput.
Services
What an engagement in this practice typically covers.
Lakehouse architecture
Bronze, silver and gold layers on Delta Lake, designed around the questions the business actually asks.
Pipelines & orchestration
PySpark and SQL pipelines, Delta Live Tables or Workflows, with tests, CI/CD via Asset Bundles and proper monitoring.
Governance with Unity Catalog
Catalogs, lineage, access policies and audit — so security and compliance stop being a blocker.
Cost & performance
Cluster policies, Photon, liquid clustering and job right-sizing that routinely halve the DBU bill.
Deliverables
What you own when the engagement ends.
Organisations moving onto Databricks, or already on it and finding it slower and dearer than promised — who want one senior engineer to make the platform earn its keep.
