We're here with Pedram Navid from Dagster, the Chief Dashboard Officer. Pedram, welcome to the show. Great to be here. Thank you.

Yeah, so I think this is your second time on the show. It's been a little over a year. We'd love a quick kind of update and then tell us a little bit about your current role. Yeah, I think last time I was here, I was enjoying consulting life, which meant lots of birdwatching, lots of looking outside, being outside. Since then, I've joined Daxter Labs about a year and a half ago, initially to run data and DevRel and now also marketing. So far less time to do birdwatching. That's too bad. Yeah, it's too bad. Back to the grind, as it were. Okay, so we're going to spend a few minutes chatting. We've been spending a few minutes chatting preparing for the show. I'm excited to kind of get into like how you've gotten to this point and orchestrators kind of a fun story. We can always talk about AI, we can talk about data engineering and how you somehow accidentally end up running marketing.

Could all be fun. All right. I'm excited. Let's do it. All right. That's a wrap for the prequel. The full-length episode will drop Wednesday morning. Subscribe now so you don't miss it.
