Data Modeling for Software Engineers
Really, data modeling? Is that even a thing any more?
The days of formal data modeling are definitely years in the rearview mirror, empowered teams define their data as they see fit, implement, and move on. Done. And we'll deal with short-comings down the road when they arise, that's Agile, let's keep moving forward (to data architects' frustration when trying to make sense of it all after the fact).
But "modeling data" extends beyond what is persisted in a database server: API Payloads, messages, configuration files, document metadata, Redis indexes are forms of data we define and work with regularly.
If I've got your attention, join me to discuss data modeling, this time from a software engineering perspective!

Engineer. Architect. Designer. Modeler. Analyst. Tester. Mentor. Trainer. Speaker. Writer. My professional career has been in many different roles with diverse technology stacks in many business domains....and even after a long, I still look for new challenges that stretch my abilities in new directions. After many years as a tech leaders, I returned to my roots as an individual contributor and love it!
Speaking at conferences allows me to share my experiences, insights, and expertise with you and hopefully gives you the context and background to help you navigate the constantly-changing technical landscape we work in: while the solutions may be implemented differently now, the problems are orften age-old and recurring. My goal is to help you recognize and understand that, in whatever problems presented to you.
