At #Snowflake, we love snow references. We're a bit silly about them. Snowday, Snowpipe, Snowhouse, Snowfort, Snowacademy to name a few. There's a bit more than a fun snow reference in Snowpark: SnowPARK -> S(now)PARK -> #SPARK. #Snowpark is our take on Spark. If you have PySpark code manipulating dataframes, you can pretty much swap imports and you're in Snowpark. Snowflake is famously a "no knobs" system. If move your data pipeline to Snowflake, it often just works without any tuning. Customers love it. Some saw 99% performance gains (long hours to minutes) after the move to Snowflake. Pretty exciting to me! I can relate to data engineers struggling with #data pipelines, been there, done that. Now at Snowflake, I can make this experience better. My team is working on the Native Apps framework so expect some cool Snowpark apps on the Snowflake Marketplace.

It's great to have you on the team, Michał Lewandowski You hit the ground running. We'll achieve big things together, go Native Apps! Btw, we're looking for a tech lead (staff engineer) for Native Apps.
It's been two weeks since I embarked on a new journey with Snowflake in Canada, and I'm already immersed in the vibrant tech scene here. Reflecting on my time at Snowflake Warsaw, I am incredibly grateful for the experiences and the fantastic launches I contributed to, alongside remarkable colleagues. A special shout-out to Maciej Oczko and Jakub Puchalski—my closest partners in this journey. The bonds forged will be dearly missed, along with many other friends I made in Poland. As I adapt to my new role and environment, I am thrilled to work with Karol Karol Bienkowski, Johnston Chu, and Qaiser Habib. Their guidance is invaluable as I dive deeper into my dream project—Snowflake Native Apps. Thank you to everyone at Snowflake for facilitating this transition and for the warm welcome in Toronto. I look forward to making impactful contributions and continuing to connect with all of you. Let’s innovate and shape future data innovations together! #Data #Technology #Snowflake #NativeApps

Bragging a bit here, LandingAI, Andrew Ng's startup build this powerful app with the Native Apps framework to run it *within* Snowflake. We knew what we've been building but I'm anyways in the "wow, that exceeds my expectations" phase. https://lnkd.in/gHCXGPnC

Maneet Taneja is the best person to teach us about Native Apps integration with Container Services. This feature wouldn't land without her, she was the tech lead from start to end. Her blog post covers practical how-tos and also explaining what's under the hood. A recommended read! Snowflake engineers like Maneet are encouraged to blog and directly connect with the engineering community. In the end, we're building an app platform, engineers for engineers. https://lnkd.in/g2m96UYf

While I've been honing my elevator pitch for the "app platform" we've been building, the pitch still sucked. Until now! The killer apps we've just announced sell the platform better than I could ever do. Look at these two: LandingAI is Andrew Ng's startup. Their Snowflake app simplifies the creation and deployment of computer vision AI projects ranging from automated quality control in manufacturing to healthcare. RelationalAI's app layers knowledge graphs on top of relational data. It comes with graph algorithms e.g. to detect communities in social graphs or predicting links and path. I hope it gets a sense of the power of the platform and the trust Landing.ai and Relational.ai have in it. (links below in comments)

We're great in databases per Gartner and now in LLM's. A good start, I'd say. Come build a Data Application Platform with us! We're hiring in Toronto. It'll be huge. https://lnkd.in/eKMZw5KS https://lnkd.in/eXEWSPRs

💯, Kevin Xu!
I met Benoit and Thierry today — two pioneers in the data cloud world! Based in Toronto, I've always envied my friends in San Mateo when they mention that they sometimes walk past Benoit and Thierry and greet them. I thought I would never get that kind of chance to see them in person. I have seen commits made by them that built Snowflake from the ground up, and messages they've sent in Slack channels and design docs. You can feel that they are still at the frontline, steering the wheels, unlike some others you might only see in a company's historical timeline. I find it really motivating and inspiring that they were already experts in this field before founding Snowflake. Yet, when they realized that the old ways of doing things could no longer address the pain points, they took the initiative to revolutionize it with something new. I feel that's the kind of spirit necessary to move forward in the tech industry. And yes, I'm back at Snowflake Native Apps—it's a great team! ❄

I'm no Thomas Edison yet but need to start somewhere. Snowflake ❄️ is definitely the place to innovate at! I'm quite proud, the patent was filed in my first 6 months here. And look at the awesome co-inventors, https://lnkd.in/gAu29Tvc.

Do you have High-Masking Autism too? There're nerds in my network so I thought I'd post. Take a look, you may learn something about yourself. High-masking autism is news to me, I'm don't necessarily have it as I was never diagnosed. I'll keep digging. There's a link in the comment, the source of this image, I'm pretty sure there's ton of other resources.
