What the Bits-over-Random Metric Changed in How I Think About RAG and Agents
Why retrieval that looks excellent on paper can still behave like noise in real RAG and agent workflows

Building Declarative Data Pipelines with Snowflake Dynamic Tables: A Workshop Deep Dive
Traditional data pipeline development often requires extensive procedural code to define how data should be transformed and moved between stages. The declarative approach flips this paradigm by allowing data engineers to specify what the end result should be rather than prescribing every step of how...
Following Up on Like-for-Like for Stores: Handling PY
My last article was about implementing Like-for-Like (L4L) for Stores. After discussing my solution with my peers and clients, I encountered an interesting issue that brought additional requirements to my first solution. This is what I want to discuss here.

My main complaint with AI solutions is that they are largely dependent on my presence for any task. Even with agentic AI now in the mix, complete automation of any complex process still seems like a myth. Tools like n8n and make.com need a considerable setup time and do not really function as conven...

Now that we know AI is inevitably a part of our workflow, the more relevant question today is not “should I use AI?”, but “how to use AI?”. With the AI tools market more crowded than ever, each passing week sees a new assistant, generator, or automation. The struggle then is of choice from a […]

Production-Ready LLM Agents: A Comprehensive Framework for Offline Evaluation
We’ve become remarkably good at building sophisticated agent systems, but we haven’t developed the same rigor around proving they work.

For different learning goals and career paths, choosing the right certification can get confusing. Some people want analytics. Others want ads. Some care about AI. And many just want something credible to add to their resume. This list is built with that in mind. A set of free Google certificate cou...
Mistral Small 4: The One Model That Codes, Reasons, and Chats
Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving. New models emerge nearly every day, with each one attempting to be the best. In this sea of similar models, we see something new every now and then. One of such models is the new Mistral Small 4. It is an innovative AI model that is not only going to […]

Neuro-Symbolic Fraud Detection: Catching Concept Drift Before F1 Drops (Label-Free)
This Article asks what happens next. The model has encoded its knowledge of fraud as symbolic rules. V14 below a threshold means fraud. What happens when that relationship starts to change?
Can the rules act as a canary? In other words: can neuro-symbolic concept drift monitoring work at inference t...

Most data platforms don’t break overnight; they grow into complexity, query by query. Over time, business logic spreads across SQL scripts, dashboards, and scheduled jobs until the system becomes a “SQL jungle.” This article explores how that happens and how to bring structure back.
