Hello, Nice to see a free and open resource for discussing Data Vault topics. I work in data and analytics technologies and have had a hand in data modelling for a long time. I wear both hats when it comes to data vault, implementation & modelling. Thanks to the dbtvault crew for setting this up! Anyone can reach me at Linkedin ---

Hello there! So happy to have a place for Q & A and various discussions. I dipped my toes into the Data Vault methodology (or is it got my fingers crushed?) about 3 years. Currently, my team is building a new data platform from scratch, and Data Vault is a big part of that initiative. Looking forward to learning from this community I can be found on linkedin, dbt slack, dbtvault slack, snowflake slack. Always happy to connect! thank you, Veronika ---

Hi šŸ™‚ Itā€™s good to see a more permanent forum after the last couple of years of ā€œin personā€ chats. Iā€™m a consultant data architect working with UK public (and used-to-be-public) sector data, and all the wonderful (what do you mean everythingā€™s an excel sheet) issues that brings šŸ˜› I wear all the hats, although my current thrust is towards the governance and meta-data management end. Feel free to DM me, look me up on LinkedIn, or follow me at my blog site. ---

We are new to DV. Nice to be part of a forum where we can learn more about DV2 modelling and best practices. Currently, we are moving from on premise data platform to a cloud data platform. With that also moving from old modelling practice to DV2 model. ---

Greetings to all! I am Noel Cruz, a relatively recent ā€œconvertā€ to Data Vault, and I am extremely excited and eager about ALL of it. I first learned about DV2 in February, 2021, when I was invited to join a project where I work (Optum) to develop a ML/AI platform for our internal systems. I was so intrigued that I pursued and received my CDVP2 on 12/30/2021 (just one week ago today). I am also on LinkedIn, as many who have posted before me are as well. ---

Hello! Iā€™m Tamara, and Iā€™ve been on Data Vault projects for various government departments in New Zealand for a few years now. I have often found that between source system data structures, business usage, and whatever platform and tooling weā€™ve been required to use, Vault standards can end up somewhatā€¦ bent. A lot of the DV advice available online is either extremely theoretical and idealized, or else very specific to whatever tool the author supports/is trying to sell you. šŸ˜€ Iā€™m hoping this forum can be used for sound-boarding practical solutions as well as discussing the evolving theory. Cheers! ---

Hi all Just joined - iā€™ve been leading a DV-based project for the last year or so but havenā€™t been very hands on, but have been reading Danā€™s and Patrickā€™s books. A long time ago before the abomination of hadoop I was a good dimensional modeller and I like what I see with dv2.0 and am singing its praises. Iā€™m sure there are a bunch of things on my last project that we would do differently with hindsight so great to be here to learn some more practical tips. cheers Nathan ---
