The Hard Problems™️ of Data Observability w/ Kevin Hu of Metaplane

As a PhD candidate at MIT, Kevin (and friends) published Sherlock, a data type detection engine (a surprisingly bedeviling problem) for data cleaning + data discovery.

Now as co-founder and CEO of Metaplane, a data observability startup, Kevin applies these same automated data discovery methods to help data teams keep their data healthy.

In this conversation with Tristan & Julia, Kevin wins the coveted award for “most crystal-clear explanations of complex technical concepts through physics analogy.”
