-: Zach Breimayer, senior Solution Engineer.
Yeah, so my current company, I work for Incorta.
It's a startup
and our mission is to significantly reduce
the time-to-value of delivering data
to the business and solving for use cases.
So my, my role in the organization is to work with
to some extent existing clients, but mostly with prospects.
Companies that have various pain points
around their current data architectures,
their current data pipelines, delivering the right data
at the right time to decision makers in the organization.
Discovery is kind of the first stage
in the sales cycle, sales process.
What we do is we meet with people
in organizations and companies and we try to understand
like what their biggest challenges are
around data analytics, the data pipeline
delivering data to the business.
And we try to solve those issues.
(laughing) Well, we do solve those issues.
So I did, you know, a few years ago, for instance
I did some work with an aeronautical organization
designing and developing a data warehouse
that was 97% more efficient
than their current or previous data warehouse.
As well as delivering dashboards and analytics
back to the business decision makers.
As, as a solution engineer
you know, in that type of a role
you might have kind of like a lack of resources.
So you might not necessarily have a data architect
somebody who understands the current data structures
and in that particular project I did not.
So we went through their current data warehouse
to understand the business rules and the underlying schema
kind of the structure of it,
just to get a base foundation
of what's going on.
And from there, design and develop
a new data warehouse that's highly optimized.
Earlier in my career, significant travel.
Probably about the first six, seven years of my career
I was traveling about 70, 80% of the time
across Europe, Asia, everywhere in the U.S.
you know that, that part of my career.
I did a lot of implementations
actually going out to clients,
working with key decision makers
to understand their challenges
and actually delivering hands-on-keyboard solutions.
