Hey 👋 I’m Andrew, a Principal Engineer, instructor, and consultant.
I created data contracts in 2021 and wrote the definitive book in 2023.
🆕 Ever wondered exactly how to implement a data mesh?

That’s why I created a workshop, where together we will implement a data mesh using data contracts!
Through a mix of discussions and hands-on exercises we’ll cover:
- How to move towards decentralised domain ownership
- How to define data products and populate a data catalog
- Implementing federated computational governance, including data retention and access control
- Automating data quality checks on data products
- Creating a self-serve data platform
In June I’ll be running a workshop alongside the inaugural Data Mesh Live conference in Belgium, where I’ll also be giving a talk.

In my weekly newsletter I share with you an original post and links to what's new and cool in the world of data mesh, data products, and data contracts.
I also include a little pun, because why not? 😅
(Don’t worry—I hate spam, too, and I’ll NEVER share your email address with anyone!)
