Hello, World. Welcome to Data Doctrine.
If you’ve ever inherited a broken data model, spent hours fixing null values, or wondered why basic terms like “customer” mean five different things in your company, you’re in the right place.
I’m Tim – Enterprise Architect, Master Data Management (MDM) advocate, retired Army Master Sergeant, and the voice behind Data Doctrine.
After two decades in tech, I’ve learned this truth the hard way:
Most data problems aren’t technical.
They’re communication problems, definition problems, ownership problems.
Data Doctrine aims to fix that with plain language, practical guidance, and zero fluff.
What You’ll Get Here
This isn’t another tech blog chasing trends. This is about:
- Mastering the basics that actually matter
- Building solutions that scale and make sense
- Helping you lead your org out of data chaos
You’ll get articles, frameworks, SQL tips, real-world examples, and a healthy dose of blunt honesty.
First Up: Master Data Mondays
Every Monday, I’ll publish a new piece in the Master Data Mondays series.
