New Blog Series Launch: The AI-First Data Architect
New SeriesA 10+ Week Journey Into AI-Ready Data Architecture
Starting the new year with an ambitious blog series that explores the architectural shift happening between data and AI. This series is designed for Data Engineers, Data Solution Architects, and Analytics Architects who are feeling the pressure of the Gen-AI era but lack a clear playbook.
Unlike typical Gen-AI content that focuses on tools or executive strategy, this series lives in the architectural middle ground — where real systems are designed and where data either enables intelligence or silently breaks it.
What the Series Will Cover:
- Why traditional data architecture feels insufficient in the Gen-AI era
- How roles blur between Data Solution Architect, AI Architect, and Enterprise Architect
- What AI-ready data really looks like
- Why vector databases change architectural patterns
- How governance, ethics, and trust become architectural responsibilities
- How to evolve your career without restarting it
"If you've felt the shift but lacked the language to describe it — you're not alone. This series is a conversation, not a broadcast." — From the Series Preview
