Should you Build or Buy your AI?
April 18, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
As AI technologies have matured and the ecosystem of reliable vendors has expanded, the decision to build vs. buy AI is no longer theoretical - it’s strategic.
With this maturity comes a new responsibility for technical leaders: to choose where to invest in proprietary capabilities and where to lean on external platforms. Lets take a look at how we can evaluate if our AI use-case should be bought or build from scratch in-house.
Building Robust Data Pipelines
March 28, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
The power of AI and big data lies in the quality and efficiency of your data pipelines. Imagine trying to process terabytes of data in real-time or training complex machine learning models, only to hit a bottleneck or suffer from system crashes. In this blog, we’ll dive into key strategies for optimizing memory efficiency and ensuring pipeline resiliency so you can handle the demands of modern workloads and AI applications.
Behind the Bots: How Data Drives AI Chatbots & Autonomous Agents
March 14, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
AI is transforming how businesses interact with customers and automate operations, but not all AI systems are created equal. AI chatbots and AI agents serve distinct roles, with agents offering far greater autonomy and decision-making capabilities. In this blog, we’ll break down the technical differences between AI chatbots and agents, explore how they use vector and structured databases, and walk through their full data lifecycles - from training and deployment to real-time operation.
Enforcing Data Governance with Modern Tools
Feb 28, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
Data governance is no longer a "nice-to-have"—it's required for basic operations and, if applied correctly, a competitive advantage. Without governance, organizations risk fines, reputational damage, and missed opportunities due to poor data management. This article explores into how to enforce governance on a modern data platform, focusing specifically on Apache Atlas as a technical enabler.
The Federated Learning Architecture
Feb 21, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
Federated learning (FL) offers a solution, enabling decentralized AI training that leverages distributed datasets without ever moving the data itself. This blog explores the importance of FL and its transformative potential.
Building Scalable Time Series Models
Feb 7th, 2025 · By Ellie Najewicz
Time series data is central to many domains, including finance, supply chain, and IoT. Its sequential nature makes it ideal for deep learning models that can capture patterns and temporal dependencies. Let's explore the best practices for implementing time series models in PyTorch, focusing on handling large-scale datasets and optimizing performance.
