Joining GoCardless as its first data engineer, he led his team to build their data platform from scratch. After initially following a typical data architecture and getting frustrated with facing the same old challenges we’ve faced for years, he started thinking there must be a better way, which led to him coining and defining the ideas around “data contracts”.
