About Kevin

Do you want to leverage AI on your data...

but your platform isn't ready for it (yet)?

You've come to the right place.

I am a freelance Analytics Engineer (ex-Head of Data), and I'm preparing data platforms for the AI era on two fronts: making data accessible in natural language, and equipping data teams to build 10x faster with AI agents.

Here are the contexts where I can help:

💬 Your business teams want to access data in natural language
  • Context layer: The semantic layer augmented by AI (Omni, Snowflake Intelligence) that gives LLMs the business context to produce reliable answers.
  • Conversational AI assistants connected to your data via API and MCP servers securely and governably.
🤖 Your data team wants to build faster with AI agents
  • dbt designed for AI agents: style guides, playbooks, and skills adapted for agents to produce models and YAML compliant with your best practices and specific constraints.
  • Development workflows, AI-first CI/CD + testing frameworks for a 10x faster data team, without sacrificing reliability.
Your data stack works but wasn't designed for AI.
  • AI-readiness audit: assessment of your stack (modeling, documentation, semantics, quality, and roadmap).
  • Upgrade without rebuilding everything: restructured dbt modeling, enriched documentation, and semantic context so LLMs and agents understand the specifics of your data.

And behind every AI integration, solid analytics engineering foundations. In 10 years, I have notably:
  • reduced data platform costs by 90% in 2 months (billions of events ingested).
  • deployed dbt from scratch in several scale-ups, including a very high-volume ad-tech platform (200+ billion bids/day).
  • reduced "data downtime" by 5x thanks to a dbt testing framework.
