Specialist Solutions Architect, Databricks
Aleksandra Chashchina is a Specialist Solutions Architect at Databricks, where she partners with enterprise customers on the bleeding edge of the Databricks platform - tackling advanced use cases and the newest
capabilities before they hit the mainstream. Her focus spans Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Lakeflow Connect, and DBSQL. She is passionate about making advanced data engineering patterns
approachable for practitioners moving from legacy ETL tools to a lakehouse
architecture. Customers keep her humble by regularly stumping her with their
questions, which she considers the best part of the job - the trick, she's
learned, is to be comfortable saying "I don't know". Before the room figures it
out anyway.
