Data engineering: pipelines, warehouses and lakehouses

We build the data foundation that your analytics and AI depend on: reliable batch and streaming pipelines, well-modelled warehouses and lakehouses, and databases designed for the load they actually carry.

What we do

Scope of work

  • Data platform architecture

    A warehouse, a lakehouse or a hybrid on Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery or Microsoft Fabric, chosen for your data volumes, team skills and running costs.

  • Batch and streaming pipelines

    ELT and ETL with Spark, dbt and Airflow, real-time ingestion with Kafka or Event Hubs, and change data capture from operational databases.

  • Data modelling

    Dimensional models and medallion layers (bronze, silver, gold) that analysts understand and that every report can reuse.

  • Database design and tuning

    Schema design, indexing, partitioning and query optimisation for PostgreSQL, SQL Server and cloud databases, including migrations between engines.

  • Data quality and governance

    Automated tests, data contracts, lineage and catalogues in Unity Catalog or Purview, so issues are caught before they reach a dashboard.
