Back to my story:

Early in my career I started as an analyst working in healthcare but I eventually found myself in the role of data engineer at a FAANG and it's really been a great learning experience.

Along the way I learned how to operate on an engineering team.

How to follow good engineering practices and just in general, develop maintainable systems.

Now that companies are starting to hire even more rapidly for data engineers, I wanted to provide my story for how I went from being a data analyst to data engineer.

From taking the initiative to develop products, to self learning. All of it was required to really challenge myself to be a DE.

Thanks for reading and good luck on your data engineering journey.

About Me:

I have spent his career focused on all forms of data. I have focused on developing algorithms to detect fraud, reduce patient readmission and redesign insurance provider policy to help reduce the overall cost of healthcare.
