Public speaking started out as a hobby, taking me places I wouldn’t normally visit. I’ve seen quite a number of really cool, mostly European, cities these days. It has also helped me communicate better, stare at my shoes less.
I love Sessionize, it makes submitting for events so easy. It’s where I keep the abstracts for my current sessions. And my bio and such:
Hi, I’m André Kamman — a freelance Data Engineer & Platform Architect with over 30 years of experience building, optimizing, and scaling data platforms for enterprises, governments, and fast-growing startups.
I specialize in cloud migration, data platform modernization, and automation, using tools like Databricks, dbt, Azure, Terraform, and Power BI. As a long-time Microsoft Data Platform MVP and open-source contributor (DbaTools), I’m deeply embedded in the data community — continuously learning, sharing, and helping others grow.
Whether you’re looking to modernize legacy systems, automate analytics workflows, or onboard data at scale, I deliver practical solutions that connect engineering with business outcomes.
I’ve worked with dozens of teams across Europe, delivered training sessions on modern data stack tools, and love discussing architecture, best practices, and the latest in cloud data tech.
