DataVaultAlliance is excited to announce that Luan Moreno Medeiros Maciel will be joining us at the World-Wide Data Vault Consortium (WWDVC) 2026 to lead his dynamic, hands-on workshop “Building the Lakehouse: Implementing Data Vault with LakeFlow Spark Declarative Pipelines.” 

Luan is a globally recognized authority in Data Engineering whose impact spans continents and communities. As a Lead Data Engineer at Pythian, he designs and delivers enterprise-scale data platforms across Azure, GCP, and AWS. Beyond his corporate leadership, he is the founder of Engenharia de Dados Academy – Brazil’s first and only government-certified Data Engineering EdTech – and creator of The Plumbers, the nation’s largest data engineering community. Through these initiatives, he has reached more than 800,000 learners, delivered over 20,000 hours of training, and mentored dozens of professionals into international data careers. 
 

A multi-year Microsoft MVP – and the first Brazilian MVP recognized for both Apache Airflow and Databricks – Luan brings unparalleled depth in modern data engineering. His expertise spans Data Vault 2.1, Spark, Lakehouse architecture, and declarative orchestration frameworks. He is also a CDVP2.1 practitioner and a distinguished global speaker who has presented across the USA, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Japan, and more. 
 

Luan’s 2-hour workshop will take attendees deep into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform with a complete, end-to-end implementation of a Data Vault model on a Lakehouse. Moving far beyond theory, this session explores how to combine the strengths of Data Vault 2.1 with LakeFlow Spark Declarative Pipelines (formerly Delta Live Tables) to build scalable, automated, and resilient data pipelines. Participants will work directly through a live build, applying DV2.1 design patterns within the Medallion Architecture to ensure data quality, auditability, and business alignment. 
 

You’ll learn how to use streaming tables, materialized views, automatic orchestration, and SQL/Python-based pipeline definitions to deploy a modern DV2.1-driven Lakehouse – designed for adaptability, performance, and enterprise governance. By the end of the session, you’ll have practical, hands-on experience implementing Hubs, Links, and Satellites on Delta Lake and structuring them through Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers to deliver trustworthy insights at scale. 
 

This workshop is ideal for Data Engineers, Data Architects, Analytics Engineers, and BI Developers who want to expand their applied skills in Lakehouse engineering, Databricks automation, and modern DV2.1 modeling. Whether you’re evolving your current data warehouse or building a new Lakehouse from scratch, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s most influential contributors to today’s data engineering landscape. 

Join us at WWDVC 2026 for this immersive, hands-on workshop and connect with a global community of professionals shaping the future of analytics, engineering, and enterprise data architecture. Reserve your seat here.
