About this site
This is the hub for my work at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and finance. Most of it traces back to one question I keep running into: why is it so hard for a company to get a number it can actually defend?
My answer to that question is Data Pipeline Builders, a productized data platform for mid-market companies. You will find what I am building on the projects page, how I work with companies on the services page, and the longer story on the author page.
I also write about what I learn along the way: dbt patterns, Snowflake cost control, revenue metrics that quietly disagree with each other, and what actually happens when you put an AI agent in front of a warehouse. If any of that is useful to you, that is the point.
About the author
This site is run by Chris Dedow, founder of Data Pipeline Builders. Before building data infrastructure he spent a decade inside FP&A and go-to-market analytics teams, which is the part that makes the infrastructure worth building.
