Patrik Devlin 00:33
Yeah, thanks for having me. Happy to be here. All right. So I’ve been in software for about a decade now, been in the startup world pretty much my whole career. And, yeah, I got together with Clint, like you mentioned, beginning this year, and we started working on a predicted LTV product, doing a kind of stuff data related there. And most of my career has been on the software engineering side. And as of late, you know, I’ve definitely entered their world of data engineering and data stack. And, yeah, I’m excited to chat about, you know, what we’re doing here at Wild, and hopefully some of the information could be useful to the listeners. Yeah.

So Patrick, one of the topics that I’m really excited about, okay, maybe two topics. One of them is DuckDB and Mother Duck. I always appreciate a conversation about that. And the other one is your experience with clean rooms. We’ve talked a little bit about the marketing around clean rooms, and we’re excited to compare marketing versus reality when it comes to clean rooms. So what are some topics you’re excited about? Yeah,
Patrik Devlin 01:44
definitely. I mean, DuckDB and Mother Duck is a huge part of our stack and architecture, so that’s gonna be great. And, yeah, I think just like this whole like data sharing space is really interesting, and the concept of these, like embedded OLAP databases really unlock some interesting stuff to innovate on how data sharing actually happens. And I think there’s probably some inspiration being taken from data clean rooms. Ultimately, we we decided not to go that route. But, yeah, you know, happy to take you through that story and journey on, on how we made that decision definitely. Well, let’s
