AI Summary

👋 Hi all — just joined and glad to be part of the group.

I'm a Data Engineering & Platform Manager from New Zealand, working primarily on Databricks and Azure. I'll be in Atlanta throughout October 2026 and would love to connect with the local Databricks community in person.

A couple of things:

• Is there a session planned around October? I'd love to attend.

• If it's useful, I'm also happy to share something from our side of the world — recent work spanning platform engineering, governance, and AI adoption on Databricks/Azure. No pressure either way; mostly just keen to meet people and learn what folks in Atlanta are building.

Looking forward to it 🙌

Akin

Hi Akin, welcome to the group! It would be great to connect while you’re in Atlanta. Could you share your exact date range for when you’ll be in town in October? Once we know your availability, we can make a plan and see if we can arrange a meetup or session around your visit. Looking forward to connecting!
Thanks
