Sandesh Gawande is the CTO and a founder of ice-DQ. Since 1996, Sandesh has been designing and developing data engineering solutions. His interest is in complete “Data Development Life Cycle”. In the past he has consulted various Insurance, Banking, and Healthcare companies. He realized; Data Quality is only taken into consideration once the system is live in production. He wanted companies to adopt a Left-Shift approach to data quality and implement Data Testing in the development phase itself. Hence, he decided to develop ice-DQ, an integrated data testing, monitoring, and observability platform.
