In this episode we talk to Sudarshan Lakshminaraseemhan – a founding engineer at e6data who cut his teeth during the formative years at global technology consultancy ThoughtWorks. Hear from Sudarshan as he dissects the evolution of software development from early waterfall processes to today's rapid iteration cycles – pulling no punches when discussing the cost crisis in data analytics.

Sudarshan offers candid perspectives on the future of lakehouse technology – as someone who has operated from the trenches of agile adoption to the bleeding edge of data systems. This technical discussion captures the evolution of software development and what Sudarshan sees as the unchanging foundations that survive cyclical disruptions.
