About Mou
Architecture depth with a teacher’s mindset.
I work at the intersection of enterprise delivery, platform architecture and practitioner education.
I design governed data and AI foundations supporting analytics, self-service BI and AI agents while preserving context, trust and control. I also turn this work into reusable labs, technical guidance, workshops and conference sessions.
My current focus includes Databricks AI/BI and agents, Unity Catalog, semantic context and governed metrics, Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, Fabric IQ, event-driven analytics and agent-ready enterprise data.
