Data Engineering

Every AI roadmap stands on consolidated, trustworthy data. We build the pipelines, governance, and security layers that keep models and operators fed with clean signal.

Plan My Data Roadmap

Build the Data Foundation Your Business Relies On

Everyone sees the promise of AI, but without consolidated, governed data every pilot collapses under conflicting numbers and audit gaps.

We stitch together payroll, accounting, POS, online ordering, clickstream, and third-party enrichment into governed lakehouse architectures so teams operate from a single, near real-time view of the business.

In 8-12 weeks we replace brittle extracts with observable pipelines, hardened governance, and documentation that keeps AI, analytics, and operators aligned.

Data Engineering Sprint Outcomes

  • Current-state audit, architecture blueprint, and cost model
  • Production-grade pipelines with automated testing, lineage, and alerts
  • Operational dashboards so stakeholders see health and usage
  • Playbooks and training so your team can own and extend the platform

No Data Foundation, No AI Outcomes

We help you avoid the classic AI failure mode—launching ambitious pilots on top of fragmented, unreliable data.
