About

Real-time data, Microsoft Fabric and AI

I spent a year and a half inside Microsoft on the Fabric Real-Time Intelligence team — owning the backlog, supporting customers worldwide and building internal Fabric pipelines, KQL analytics and Power BI reporting, and managing a terabyte-scale telemetry platform. I'm certified in Fabric as both Data Engineer (DP-700) and Analytics Engineer (DP-600), and in Azure AI (AI-102).

Today I'm a Data Engineer modernizing enterprise data pipelines for a global pharmaceutical company — and I deliver much of that work by directing AI coding agents: defining prompts, guardrails and review workflows so agents implement, refactor and test pipeline code while I own the architecture and quality.

After hours I build czyjedzie.live, a real-time public transport platform for Kraków that started on Fabric RTI and was built end-to-end with AI agents. My roots are in GIS, product ownership and analytics — which helps me bridge technical and business needs.

Outside of tech I'm a licensed drone pilot, a traveler (30+ countries and counting), a photographer and a smart home enthusiast.

Where I've worked

Data Engineer

C&F · global pharmaceutical client · Remote
  • Migrating legacy ETL from Informatica IICS to a modern stack built with dbt, DuckDB, Airflow and Ansible.
  • Designing scalable ELT pipelines and transformation frameworks in SQL and Python, orchestrated with Airflow.
  • CI/CD with Jenkins and Bitbucket; integrating mastered data into the Reltio MDM platform.
  • AI-assisted engineering: directing and coaching AI coding agents (OpenCode, GitHub Copilot) as part of the team's daily delivery workflow.
  • Defining prompts, project context and guardrails that let agents autonomously implement, refactor and test pipeline code within agreed standards.
  • Designing review workflows for agent-generated code — human-in-the-loop checks before anything reaches the main branch.
  • Using agents to speed up the IICS migration: translating legacy mappings into dbt models and SQL, and generating tests and documentation — significantly accelerating delivery.

Case study

czyjedzie.live — real-time transit on Microsoft Fabric RTI, built with AI agents

czyjedzie.live — live map of Kraków trams and buses coloured by delay, with live KPIs: median delay, punctuality, average speed and vehicles in service
czyjedzie.live — every tram and bus in Kraków on a live map, coloured by delay, with punctuality, congestion and journey planning.

Architecture on Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence

Built with AI coding agents

The whole project — Fabric notebooks, KQL, the web app and the backend — was developed by directing AI coding agents, with me as architect and reviewer.

  • Repository rules for agents and a living knowledge base: architecture, decisions, known pitfalls, deployment runbook.
  • Clear guardrails: agents prepare changes and verify every release (checksums, HTTP status), while production writes in Fabric stay with a human.
  • Every change logged in a project changelog, so the next agent session starts with full context.

From Fabric to open source — with parity tests

Ahead of the end of the Fabric trial I ported the same notebook code to an open-source stack (ClickHouse on a VPS), rewriting KQL as SQL. The Fabric edition kept running side by side for comparison.
