S7 Favorite: The Low-Code Boom: Bringing DevOps and Git to Enterprise Data Pipelines with Raj Bains of Prophecy
Dec 29, 2022 · Season 7 · 24 min
Bringing data management out of the stone age
Raj Bains grew up in India, North of Delhi, and comes from a family who, as he says, does "whatever is best to do" at the time. They moved around quite a bit when he was a kid, and his family dabbled in a number of different trades. After doing an internship in France and then, completing his undergrad, he moved stateside and has called many different states home. In fact, in those states, he got involved in outdoors activities, like kayaking, mountain biking, and the like. Also, he plays a lot of games, specifically on his phone, which makes his fingers hurt.
Raj comes from a background of building powerful tools, that also happen to be really complicated and hard to use... specifically, around the data engineering space. To put it blunt, he felt that the tools were from the Stone Age. He knew that he could build something better.
This is the creation story of Prophecy.
