All right, welcome back to The Data Stack Show. We’re here with Pedram Navid from dagster, the chief dashboard officer, Pedram, welcome to the show. Great. You’re here. Thank you. Yeah. So I think it’s your second time on the show. It’s been a little over a year. We’d love a quick kind of update, and then tell us a little bit about your current role.

Pedram Navid 00:46
Yeah, I think last time I was here, I was enjoying consulting life, which meant lots of bird watching, lots of looking outside, being outside. Since then, I’ve joined Dexter labs about a year and a half ago, initially to run data and Dev Rel and also marketing, so far less time to do bird watching.

Matthew Kelliher-Gibson 01:06
It’s too bad. Back to the grind, as it were. Okay, so we’re gonna spend a few minutes chatting. We’ve been spending a few minutes chatting preparing for the show. I’m excited to kind of get into, like, kind of how you’ve gotten to this point, and orchestrators in general. What are you looking forward to chatting

Pedram Navid 01:22
about? Yeah, I mean, we can always talk about orchestration. We’ll talk about data platforms, how we got to where we are, could be kind of a fun story. We can always talk about AI. We can talk about data engineering and how you somehow accidentally end up running marketing. Could all be fun.

John Wessel 01:37
All right, I’m excited. Let’s do it.
