Hi, I'm

Sergei
Polianskii

Data architect and engineer in Stockholm. I build data platforms on Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks that teams can actually trust.

About

I've spent more than ten years turning messy data from many sources into clear, reliable products — mostly in healthcare, the public sector and large enterprises.

Today I design greenfield platforms on Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks: Lakehouse and medallion architectures, ETL/ELT pipelines, and Data Vault or dimensional models underneath it all. Lately I've been leaning hard into AI-assisted engineering.

I started out as a web developer in Saint Petersburg, grew into databases and team leadership, then brought all of that to Stockholm. I studied mathematics at Saint Petersburg State University, which probably explains why I like models that add up.

I work independently through my consultancy, Seppl. If you're building a data platform, I'm happy to talk.
