A genuine dead heat. <BR />We looped in one final judge, <STRONG>Will Valori&nbsp;</STRONG><a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/176015">@willdatabricks</a>,&nbsp;<STRONG>Senior Product Manager</STRONG>, who broke the tie. One project was wildly creative. The other solved a real business problem beautifully. Daniil took the win – but Ashish, that was incredibly close. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":clapping_hands:">👏</span></P> </DIV> <DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; width: 100%; color: #0b2026; line-height: 1.6;"> <DIV style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><!-- Left: Content --> <DIV style="flex: 1;"> <DIV style="height: 2px; background: linear-gradient(to right, #0b2026, #ff3621); margin: 28px 0; border-radius: 2px;">&nbsp;</DIV> <H3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #0b2026; margin: 0 0 6px 0;">From Us to You <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span><BR /><BR /></H3> <P style="font-size: 17px; color: #0b2026; margin: 0 0 4px 0;"><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":wrapped_gift:">🎁</span> <STRONG><FONT size="4" color="#ff3621">Winners – your swag is coming!<span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="Swag (1).gif" style="width: 206px;"><img src="https://community.databricks.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/28016i88CE9EB7A76907C1/image-dimensions/206x206?v=v2" width="206" height="206" role="button" title="Swag (1).gif" alt="Swag (1).gif" /></span></FONT></STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px; color: #0b2026; margin: 0 0 16px 0;"><EM>We'll be reaching out to you soon to grab your details and get it shipped your way.</EM></P> <P style="font-size: 17px; color: #0b2026; margin: 0 0 4px 0;"><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":flexed_biceps:">💪</span> <STRONG><FONT size="4" color="#ff3621">Didn't win this time?</FONT></STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px; color: #0b2026; margin: 0 0 16px 0;"><EM>You built something real and put it out there.

Tyvm to the judges for taking the time to review us all.&nbsp;There were some amazing projects in this lineup so it came very unexpected!</P><P>Building the Lineage Syncer was a fun experience, especially because it came from a real issue that I have had. It's awesome to see what Unity Catalog, with it's extenal lineage, can do to bridge the gaps to outside the databricks ecosystem.
