The enterprise data landscape is experiencing a significant transition. According to recent IDC research, 85% of organizations plan to migrate their data infrastructure to cloud-native platforms by 2026, driven by the need for cost reduction and operational efficiency. Yet many companies struggle with lengthy implementation timelines and astronomical consulting fees that can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars for traditional enterprise solutions.
Against this backdrop emerges the success story of Yehor Koriahin, a data architect whose innovative approach has helped major corporations like Nike and global consulting firms achieve dramatic cost savings while accelerating their digital transformation. Currently pioneering the integration of Agentic AI for Data modelling – providing significant reduction in time spent for building BI data models in data warehousing environments – Koriahin represents the cutting edge of 2025’s most significant technological trend. His methodology challenges conventional wisdom about enterprise data architecture, proving that complex systems can be both sophisticated and accessible.
Breaking the Enterprise Complexity Barrier
Koriahin’s approach to cost-efficient data architecture emerged during his tenure at SoftServe, an international IT consulting company, where he faced what seemed like an impossible challenge: migrating large scale data infrastructure from on-premise to AWS for a global management consulting firm. Infrastructure consisted of more than 100+ VMs, 50+ TB of data and complex dependencies and tooling operating between. Traditional enterprise approaches suggested this would require extensive teams, months of planning, and significant business disruption.
“During this project, I realized the need for more flexible and rapid methods for creating data architecture,” Koriahin reflects. “The conventional enterprise approach was fundamentally inefficient – companies were spending 6-9 months just to get their first operational data warehouse version, burning through budgets and resources.” His method enabled completion with near-zero downtime and approximately 80% cost savings results rarely achieved under legacy systems.
This case became a real-world validation of his Rapid Data Architecture Approach, proving its effectiveness at scale. Such exceptional results were made possible due to Koriahin’s unique engineering vision and innovative technical leadership, reflecting his talent as one of the foremost experts in the industry.

The implementation enabled Nike to have centralized, scalable access to critical operational data, laying the groundwork for advanced analytics capabilities that previously seemed unattainable for organizations of such complexity.
“Traditional enterprise solutions create dependency on large, specialized teams,” he notes. “My approach focuses on reducing this complexity while maintaining enterprise-grade capabilities.”
As a result, Nike achieved an agile, high-performing analytics infrastructure—one that could evolve rapidly with business needs.This outcome was directly driven by Koriahin’s strategic insights and methodology, underscoring his reputation as a leading force in modern data architecture.
AI-Driven Data Modeling Revolution
Koriahin’s most groundbreaking contribution lies in applying Artificial Intelligence to automate star schema design and dimensional modeling processes. His research demonstrates that large language models like GPT-4, Google Gemini, and Meta LLaMA can dramatically accelerate database schema generation while maintaining enterprise-grade accuracy. This methodology represents a fundamental shift in how the entire data architecture industry approaches complex system design. The shift was catalyzed by Koriahin’s groundbreaking contributions, his distinctive methodology, developed through years of high-level expertise, has redefined industry norms.
“Manual schema design is labor-intensive and error-prone in large-scale environments,” Koriahin explains. “AI can reduce development time by over 80% while increasing accuracy and consistency.” His experimental results show that AI-assisted modeling achieves 91% accuracy in schema generation, with development time dropping from 18 hours to just 2 hours for initial design. These improvements directly translate to cost savings and time-to-market advantages, especially for U.S.-based startups that need lean, scalable systems fast.
Moreover, Koriahin implemented Agentic AI frameworks that autonomously monitor data pipelines, optimize ETL performance, and execute recovery without human input, delivering unprecedented levels of automation.
The methodology leverages LLMs to automatically infer schema structures, enforce relational integrity, and enhance semantic alignment. Using structured output parsers and validation frameworks, the AI generates production-ready SQL DDL and maintains consistency across complex data warehouse implementations. Beyond modeling, Koriahin has extended AI integration to operational aspects, implementing Agentic AI frameworks that allow autonomous agents to monitor data pipelines, optimize ETL performance, and trigger corrective actions without human intervention..
