Welcome to the Data Quality Coffee Series with Uncle Chip

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a fresh cup, and get ready to talk shop—because it’s time for Data Quality Coffee with Uncle Chip.

This video series is where decades of data experience meet real-world challenges, a dash of humor, and zero fluff. Uncle Chip—aka Charles Bloche of DataKitchen—has spent his career deep in the trenches of data engineering, wrangling pipelines, building platforms, and navigating the all-too-familiar chaos of data quality. These are his hard-won lessons, battle scars, and insights—shared in short, caffeinated episodes designed for data engineers, analysts, data quality leaders, and anyone who’s ever lost sleep over a broken dashboard.

Each episode in Data Quality Coffee tackles a specific pain point in the world of data: from why test coverage always lags behind production to what happens when you don’t understand the data you’re responsible for. It’s straight talk from someone who’s been there, mixed with practical advice and a bit of fun—because let’s face it, if we can’t laugh about our data quality disasters, we’ll cry.

So tune in, whether you’re a seasoned architect or just starting out. Uncle Chip’s here to make your data life a little brighter, easier, and more human.
