Tough but Fair: My Take on Passing the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional Exam
Generative AI on AWS isn’t one skill: it’s foundation models, retrieval systems, agentic orchestration, safety and governance, and cost optimization all at once, and this exam tests all of it. Here’s an honest walkthrough of the five domains, why the exam earned its “tough but fair” reputation, and what it actually takes to pass if…

Almost a Decade in and I Passed the Snowflake SnowPro Core Certification
Eight years of hands-on Snowflake experience still didn’t mean the SnowPro Core exam would be easy. In this post, I break down the study resources that got me to a passing score official docs, Udemy courses, and hundreds of practice questions plus a domain-by-domain breakdown of exam weightings and the nuances (Time Travel, Fail-safe, TRANSIENT…
Microsoft Fabric IQ: The Foundation Data Architects Need to Know
Microsoft Fabric IQ reached general availability at Build 2026, turning what was a preview into a platform architects now need to design around. This breakdown covers Fabric IQ’s five components: Ontology, Graph, Data Agent, Operations Agent, and Semantic Model. How they reinforce one another, and the governance decisions data architects need to make now that…
The Data-AI Stratification Model: Why Your AI Initiatives Keep Failing
A 4-layer framework for sequencing Data, BI, ML, and AI investment. Yhy skipping layers is the top reason AI initiatives fail to deliver value.
Building AI Systems with Databricks Multi-Agent Supervisor
Enterprise AI has evolved beyond simple chatbots answering single questions. Modern organizations need AI systems that can handle complex queries spanning multiple data sources, domains, and knowledge types. The Supervisor Agent (Databricks’ orchestration layer for coordinating specialized AI agents, now generally available) addresses this challenge by orchestrating specialized AI agents into a coordinated system that…
Snowflake Cortex Agents: Structured and Unstructured Data
Enterprise AI faces a fundamental trust problem. While language models generate fluent responses, users increasingly question whether those answers are actually true. The solution is not more sophisticated text generation. Instead, the answer is intelligent orchestration of verified data sources with quality measurement. Snowflake Cortex Agents solve this through a three-tier architecture that automatically routes…
