Hello Tushar

Honored beyond words to be featured in this recap. Thank you, Community team, for the mention and for putting together such a beautiful look back.

What DAIS 2025 gave me wasn't just a notebook full of announcements. It was a renewed belief that the future of data is being built by people who genuinely care, both inside Databricks and across this community. Lakebase, Agent Bricks, UC Metrics, and the rest of the lineup were exciting on stage, but watching them shape real conversations and real builds over the past year has been even more exciting.

I'll be in San Francisco for DAIS 2026 with deeper love for this platform, more conviction in where it's heading, and more determination to give back to the community that has given me so much. To anyone on the fence about attending, come. You'll leave with more than you expected. See you in June.
