who
Laurence Chen | Modern Data Stack Consultant
I help mid-to-large enterprises build reliable data platforms using open source tools — deployed on-premise, owned by your team.
For organizations where data cannot leave the firewall, or where reducing commercial licensing costs matters, I design and implement Modern Data Stack solutions built on proven open source technology: Clickhouse, dbt, Metabase, Kestra, and Meltano.
What makes my engagements different: I don't just deliver a platform and leave. I work directly with your engineers — teaching them to write the SQL, build the models, and understand the architecture — so your team can maintain and evolve the platform long after the engagement ends.
