Everybody underestimated how big the data was going to be.

And now at this point, I think everybody underestimates how big a category data tools is going to be because the data currently is not usable.

When you look at a lot of the products teams built around Spark, built around Hadoop, you know, built around, like a lot of these things,

like each one is a point feature. And so I think we are looking at it and saying, first,

there was a consolidation at the cloud layer. Everybody's going to use one of three clouds.

On top of that, there's just two data platforms, right? Data bricks and Snowflake that have become

dominant. And then on top of that, in the tooling layer, one or two tools will become dominant.

This is Code Story, the podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries,

who share in the critical moments of what it takes to change in industry and build and lead.

A team that has your back.

I'm your host, Noah Laphardt.

Today, Hal Raj Baines set out to create a low-code path so you can be productive in data engineering.

All this and more on-code story.

Raj Baines grew up in India, north of Delhi, and came from a family who, as he says, does

whatever is best to do at the time. They moved around quite a bit

when he was a kid and his family dabbled in a number of different trades. After doing an internship

in France and then completing his undergrad, he moved stateside and is called many different

states his home. In those states, he got involved in outdoor activities like kayaking, mountain biking,

and the like. In addition, he plays a lot of activities like kayaking, mountain biking, and the like.

In addition, he plays a lot of games, specifically on his phone, which makes his fingers hurt.

Rosh comes from a background of building powerful tools that also happen to be really complicated and hard to use, specifically around the data engineering space.
