Snowflake Consulting
Snowflake, engineered for production.
dbt-native modeling, ELT pipelines, cost guardrails, reverse ETL — production data platforms that the warehouse bill does not surprise.

Compute and storage decoupled. Cost discipline as engineering, not a quarterly fire drill.

Services
What we build on Snowflake.
Eight Snowflake engagement shapes. Architecture, modeling, cost, ML feature store, reverse ETL — pick the one that fits.
Snowflake architecture & setup
Account, warehouse, role, and resource-monitor design from day one — RBAC done properly, cost guardrails before the bill, multi-environment patterns.
dbt modeling + transformation
dbt project structure, source freshness, exposures, semantic layer, CI on PRs. The model layer that turns raw data into trusted tables.
ELT pipelines (Airbyte, Fivetran, custom)
Source ingestion from Shopify, NetSuite, GA4, Stripe, and 100+ SaaS via Airbyte / Fivetran — or custom Python connectors when the off-the-shelf doesn't fit.
Cost optimization
Warehouse right-sizing, query tuning, search-optimization service, materialized views, clustering keys. Warehouse cost engineering baked into the model layer, not a quarterly review.
Reverse ETL into ops tools
Hightouch / Census wiring back into Klaviyo, Salesforce, ad platforms — the warehouse becomes the source of truth for ops, not just BI.
BI + semantic layer
Looker, Metabase, Tableau on top of dbt's semantic layer. Or wire MetriQ in for natural-language analytics.
ML feature store on Snowflake
Snowpark + feature store patterns when ML training and inference need warehouse-grade data.
Migration to Snowflake
From Redshift, BigQuery, Postgres, or on-prem warehouses — phased, with parity validation before cutover.
