From the Terminal, Not the TED Talk.
No one has time for science projects when it comes to Data & AI. We build systems that ship to production and pay for themselves. We solve specific problems with whatever tool works — sometimes that's an agentic system, sometimes it's a data warehouse, and sometimes it's just a conversation over coffee. We build on Databricks Intelligence Platform, Azure AI Foundry, and modern cloud infrastructure.
Our Ground Rules
Data drives decisions
Data that never reaches a decision-maker is just overhead. We build the systems that close the gap between raw information and knowledge.
The best AI is invisible
Your team shouldn't need to understand the model to use it. We build AI that disappears into the workflow — just better answers, faster.
Built to ship
If it doesn't have a path to production, we don't build it. From MVP to full platform, everything we deliver is designed to scale.

Co-Founder & CPO
“Data infrastructure isn't a modern invention. Agriculture created it 5,000 years ago.”
The brand, the intellectual property, the product strategy — that's my side of the house. I lead research, solution architecture, and the thread that connects a human problem to a production system that solves it.
Fifteen years across industries built the pattern recognition clients lean on. And a background most people in this space don't have — a Master of Divinity with deep study in ancient civilizations. It turns out the first databases were grain ledgers on clay tablets.
Dan Maycock
Co-Founder & CTO
“Solutions that prove value in 30 days, not 300-slide decks.”
After 25 years from Boeing's research labs to Amazon's scale to agricultural fields, Dan has learned what actually works: solutions that prove value in 30 days, not 300-slide decks. Systems that get simpler as they scale, not more complex. And code that ops teams thank you for, not curse you for.
He's been a consulting executive, a startup founder, and a CIO of a farming operation. He's seen million-dollar failures and hundred-line solutions that transformed companies. That's why he started Dataplai — to build what actually works.
