Welcome to eat·sleep·code.dev — a digital workbench exploring the intersection of modern data engineering, distributed analytics, and agentic AI systems.

What to Expect
#

In this space, we dive into practical engineering insights, enterprise architecture patterns, and the hard-learned lessons that only surface in production:

Microsoft Fabric & Lakehouse Architecture: Medallion design patterns, Delta Lake internals, Direct Lake performance tuning, and unified governance.
Multi-Agent AI Systems: Moving beyond simple chat prompts into autonomous, resilient multi-agent execution graphs for enterprise data operations.
PySpark & High-Throughput Pipelines: Distributed computation optimization, memory management, shuffle tuning, and scalable ETL/ELT pipelines.
System Design & Engineering Principles: Architectural decisions, API designs, and building robust, maintainable cloud platforms.

# Multi-Agent Execution Loop in Python
async def run_data_agent(task: str, context: dict) -> AgentResult:
 plan = await orchestrator.plan_step(task, context)
 for step in plan.steps:
 result = await step.execute()
 if not result.success:
 return await orchestrator.remedy(step, result)
 return AgentResult(status="SUCCESS", payload=plan.summary)

Stay tuned for deep-dives, architectural blueprints, and code walkthroughs.

Strictly Come Ontology: Fabric IQ at Work on 22 Years of Strictly

Why put Strictly in an ontology?
#

I have pulled 22 years of BBC Strictly Come Dancing into a Microsoft Fabric IQ ontology project. It covers all 23 previous UK series and the start of the 24th series, with 339 couples, 3,210 routines and 10,913 individual judges’ marks. The project can now answer questions like “How does Craig mark a pro’s partners on the Paso Doble, compared with the rest of the panel?” — turning natural language into a walk through named things, rather than joining five data tables into a result set. As series 24 has just started, I plan to update this as we go.
