About Lough on Data
#

I don’t write code because I like writing code. I write code as a means for solving problems worth solving.

I’m Connor Lough, the data engineer behind Lough on Data. I write about my learnings and help with data foundations: the paths data takes into a warehouse, the models and metrics that give it meaning, and the quality and operating practices that keep it useful. And all of it using open source technologies.

Beyond the stack

I’m based in Arizona. Outside of data work, I’m outdoors! I hunt, camp, and go birding. Consequently, most of my public work is centered around bird observations, public-land boundaries, and the strange politics of who owns what dirt. That interest keeps showing up in the questions I choose to explore publicly.
