About Dan Maycock

No one has time for science projects when it comes to Data & AI. At Dataplai, we build systems that ship to production and pay for themselves. After 25 years from Boeing\'s research labs to Amazon\'s scale to agricultural fields, I\'ve learned what actually works: solutions that prove value in 30 days, not 300-slide decks. Systems that get simpler as they scale, not more complex. And code that ops teams thank you for, not curse you for. I\'ve been a consulting executive, a startup founder, and a CIO of a farming operation. I\'ve seen million-dollar failures and hundred-line solutions that transformed companies. That\'s why we started Dataplai - to build what actually works. Three principles we focus on at Dataplai: 1. Data that doesn’t lead to decisions is just expensive storage, as every good data system should drive better decisions faster. The best AI is invisible, where users just see outcomes and meaningful answers. When it comes to buying the best ribeye, we focus on the marbling and not the cow.3. If it doesn\'t scale to a production solution, it doesn\'t count, which means not building science experiments and instead producing measurable outcomes & ROI with what we build.We solve specific problems with whatever tool works - sometimes that\'s an agentic system, sometimes it\'s a data warehouse, and sometimes it’s just a conversation over coffee.Reach out today, and let’s chat about how we can help your company.
