Mehta Sandeep

Location: London, United Kingdom
I have a strong background in data platforms and engineering, and I’ve always been passionate about leveraging open-source technologies to solve complex data problems. My primary interests lie in scalable data architectures, data governance, and community-driven development.

As a SODA ambassador, I plan to contribute by sharing my technical expertise through articles and talks, advocating for the adoption of SODA within my organisation, and leveraging my professional network to expand SODA’s reach. I believe my hands-on experience in data management can also provide valuable insights to improve the SODA ecosystem.
