These chapters are built to be explored alongside an AI assistant. Ask it to explain a concept differently, quiz you, or go deeper. The tutorials are the reference — the conversation is the lesson.

I'm working through Data Vault Foundations (datavault-foundations.netlify.app), currently on Chapter ___. Read the chapter and help me understand the concepts — quiz me, explain things differently, go deeper where I'm curious.

About This Project

These chapters were built as an interactive learning journey through Data Vault 2.0 and its surrounding ecosystem. Each one is a standalone visual experience with exercises, quizzes, and concept explanations using the 32nd-century programmable matter aesthetic.

Topics span from foundational ontology (what IS a Hub?) through SQL construction, dbt tooling, EU regulatory compliance (GDPR, DORA, AI Act), and Python for data engineering. The chapters use Skyrim, Star Trek, and The Matrix as analogy domains to make abstract architecture tangible.

Go Further

These chapters cover the foundations — what Data Vault is, how SQL queries it, and why compliance matters. They're a starting point, not the destination.

For professional certification, enterprise implementation, and the tooling that automates Data Vault at scale — that's ScaleFree International, the consultancy that co-created Data Vault 2.0. Their Boot Camp & Certification is where practitioners go next.
