Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let\\u2019s talk about your background and what led you to start Metaplane.

Topic 2 - Let\\u2019s start by talking about the concept of what is a modern data engineer. What is this person doing, what are they responsible for, and who are their typical \\u201ccustomers\\u201d within a business.\\xa0

Topic 3 - Beyond just huge volumes of data and trying to make the data usable (formatting, ETL, storage access, etc.), what sort of problems do data engineers encounter? How much is typically \\u201cfirst-party data\\u201d and how much comes from external systems?\\xa0

Topic 5 - What are the types of Data Observability problems that Metaplane is focused on solving for Data engineers? Are these usually done independently, or in collaboration with the application or business analyst teams?
