🎉 Welcome to the Databricks User Group Düsseldorf / Rheinland!
Hi everyone, and welcome! I'm Hitesh, CTO and Chief Architect at EnablerMinds - focused Data & AI boutique company and the organizer of this chapter. Glad to have you here as we get this community off the ground.
A bit of context: I started this group because I felt the Rheinland (Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, and beyond) has a ton of companies building real things on Databricks, but no dedicated local space to swap notes beyond the usual product demos. My goal is to make this a genuinely useful, practitioner-first community — so let's kick things off by getting to know each other.
Drop a reply and tell us:
👋 Who you are and where you're based (Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, or elsewhere in the region)
🛠️ What you're working on with Databricks right now (data engineering, ML/AI, governance, agentic workflows, etc.)
🤔 One thing you're currently wrestling with - a challenge, a debate, an "is anyone else dealing with this?" moment
💡 What you'd love to see at our first meetup - a topic, a format, a specific pain point you want covered
No answer is wrong answer here - even "I'm just getting started with Databricks and want to learn" is a great intro.
Looking forward to building this community with all of you. First meetup details coming soon — and your answers here will directly shape what we cover! 🚀
