I’m a data generalist and a bit of a purist at heart, but always guided by the principle that practicality is king.

As a consultant and Data Architect, I specialize in template-driven data warehouse design and decentralized architectures such as Data Mesh, helping organizations strike the right balance between governance and agility.

Over the years, I’ve worked across the spectrum of data architecture, analytics, modeling, and BI engineering. My toolkit includes a wide range of modeling approaches, from Kimball to Data Vault, and I enjoy tailoring solutions to both organizational context and long-term sustainability.

Outside of project work, I share lessons and reflections on modern data practices on Medium (https://medium.com/@corne-potgieter) and Towards Data Science (https://towardsdatascience.com/author/corne-potgieter/)
