We’re thrilled to announce that Caleb Morrison has achieved Databricks Champion status!
What is a Databricks Champion?
Databricks Champions is an exclusive “invitation only” program recognizing “the best of the best” Databricks practitioners. Databricks Champions are recognized for their technical expertise, community engagement, advocacy, mentorship, and contributions toward making an impact in the Databricks ecosystem.
The criteria for nominations are substantial, requiring concrete evidence that the individual has successfully delivered multiple Databricks projects, several certifications, completion of an instructor-led training course, and finally, a panel interview with the Databricks committee.
Who is Caleb?
Caleb has over 10 years of experience working in data and analytics. At Nousot, he leads a team of data professionals to architect, build, and maintain scalable enterprise data platforms with advanced reporting, governance, and predictive analytics capabilities. Currently, Caleb is working with Xcel Energy, designing a geospatial solution with Databricks and H3 global grid indexing. This geospatial solution helps Xcel process gigabytes of weather, vegetation, and asset data to calculate wildfire potential metrics.
What does Champion status mean for Caleb?
The Databricks Champions community provides collaboration with a select group of experts, access to quarterly roadmap updates, and exclusive tech summits. For Caleb, he’s eager for what’s coming next year: “I’m excited to be part of the Databricks Champion community and grateful for the support to make this possible! Looking forward to all the great Databricks features and improvements coming in 2025, such as AI/BI Dashboards with Multi-Page Reports and Seamless Onboarding, Spatial SQL Functions, and much more!”
Caleb plans to leverage his new Champion status in a few ways:
1. Community Leadership
Caleb will use this recognition to amplify thought leadership and share his perspective on the data and analytics landscape with clients and the Databricks community.
2. Cultivating the Next Generation
Caleb plans to coach up-and-coming team members to anticipate future needs and align with best practices in data and technology, cultivating the next wave of Databricks Champions.
3. Delivering Excellence and Innovation
Caleb will also use his Champion status to create innovative tools and solutions to drive faster value delivery for our clients using Databricks.
