Finally, after months of hard work, I have published my first research paper in a double-blind peer-reviewed scientific journal by the international publisher Springer Nature 🙌
The paper is titled:
Building a Modern Data Platform Based on the Data Lakehouse Architecture and Cloud-Native Ecosystem
This research paper is the result of several months of work and is based on my master's thesis, which was published in 2023 (I got Master of Science with Distinction in Data Engineering from Edinburgh Napier University).
The paper presents a practical application for data management without vendor lock-in, in addition to ensuring platform extensibility and incorporating modern concepts such as Cloud-Native, Cloud-Agnostic, and DataOps.
Why is this paper important? Because data is the backbone of Artificial Intelligence! In today's world, control over data means political and economic independence.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the research team who contributed to this work, supported me, and shared their knowledge to help bring this paper to the highest quality. It was a truly enriching experience on many levels! 🙌

The research group chose these quotes from our respective languages/cultures to emphasize the importance of perseverance and diligence:
“عِندَ الصَّباحِ يَحمَدُ القومُ السُّرَى”
(In the morning, the people praise the night's journey)
Arabic Proverb

(The beginning is half of
everything)
Greek Proverb
“Is obair latha tòiseachadh”
(Beginning is a

I will write a community blog post about it soon :-)
