Cloud data platform
On-prem warehouse → cloud-native. Near-live, under 15 minutes, for nearly every flow.
- Azure
- Snowflake
- dbt
- Qlik
Problem
A 300+ location operator scaling toward 1000+ — competing with national chains like Caliber and Gerber — was running on an on-prem data warehouse it had outgrown. It could not respond to data needs fast enough to feed an acquisition-driven growth plan.
Approach
Architected and led the migration to a cloud-native stack — Azure, Snowflake, dbt, and Qlik — with webhook and event-based ingestion, near-live incremental modeling, and CI/CD plus observability built in. Grew the engagement from 2.5 to 10+ FTE over three years.
Result
Under 15 minutes end-to-end for nearly all flows, near-live reporting across every key metric, and a foundation that gets more cost-efficient as volume grows.
