Did we get ahead of ourselves by focusing purely on Generative AI before perfecting the robust data fundamentals that the best AI workloads are built on? 🤔

My keynote from @allthingsopen "AI Should Not Replace Well-Built Data Fundamentals," argues that true AI innovation comes from workloads built ON TOP of strong data fundamentals, not in place of them.

I dive into how you can use AI tools (like #GeminiCLI) alongside foundational #OpenSource tools (like ASF's #Iceberg) to establish the essential scalability, flexibility, and interoperability required for modern, large-scale AI success.

You can't have an effective AI strategy without a well-built data strategy.

As of January, I was effectively laid off from my loved Developer Advocate job.

If anyone needs a Swiss army knife with excellent soft skills that work well in a team. That's me.

I would prefer Softwarearchitecture and DevRel again. Everything where I get to work with people would be nice.

If anyone can point me to something or could make an introduction, I would be deeply grateful!
