Databricks has recognized David Callaghan as a Partner Champion. As the first Perficient colleague to receive inclusion in the program, David is paving the way for others to get their footing with the partner.
Program Overview
To be a Databricks Partner champion, one must:
- Display Thought Leadership
- Harness Technical Expertise
- Become Community Leader
- Demonstrate Innovation
Individuals who show promise and interest are approached with an intensive multi-step program that leads to becoming an official Databricks Partner Champion. This program recognizes the best and brightest on the Databricks platform and its capabilities. It helps to deepen a preexisting understanding of the platform by offering exclusive trainings and limitless growth potential for individuals daring enough to commit to the program. Those who advance through the rigor are equipped with knowledge like no other and are capable of demonstrating advanced understanding of the Lakehouse and Databricks.
How Did I Get Here?
David Callaghan, a Senior Solutions Architect, is on a mission to bring trusted data to complex regulated industries and has been deep in the Databricks weeds developing innovative solutions that are widely applicable. He participated in a Databricks Architect Panel and presented some of Perficient’s Databricks Accelerators and as a result was approached by program leadership to take the next steps to receive the Partner Champion recognition and be inducted into the program. David has since aided in the development of the Perficient Migration Factory, Databricks Brickbuilder solution and plans to leverage his expertise to shepherd a global team of Partner Champions at Perficient.
“I would like to bolster a global team of Databricks Partner Champions and establish a talent pool that brings diverse strengths to Databricks data and analytics platform to deliver value across enterprises and industries through training and mentorship by Perficient’s Databricks Center of Excellence.”
– David Callaghan, Senior Solutions Architect
What’s Next?
David is spearheading the charge of the development of a new life sciences solution related to one of Perficient’s most successful engagements with Databricks in this space. Our Migration Factory is a unique approach to migrating legacy data platforms into the Lakehouse and has set the tone for new innovative Brickbuilder solutions to be developed by Perficient’s experts.
