Switching from Software Engineer to Data Engineer

Are you a Software Engineer looking to break into the high-growth world of Data Engineering?

I made the successful transition from a Full Stack Developer to a Senior Data Engineer at top consultancies like Thoughtworks and Equal Experts, and I can help you do the same.

Moving from application development to data engineering isn't just about learning new tools—it's about shifting your mindset from transactional systems to distributed data processing. In this session, we will cut through the noise and build a personalized roadmap for your transition.

👨‍💻 What we will cover:

1. The Skills Gap Analysis: Identifying what skills from your current stack (Java, SQL, Backend) transfer over and what new skills you actually need to learn (Spark, dbt, Airflow).
2. The "Dev" in Data: How to leverage your existing software engineering best practices (TDD, CI/CD, DevOps) to stand out against other data candidates.
3. Tooling Strategy: Guidance on where to start—Python vs. Scala, Cloud (GCP/AWS) certifications, and big data frameworks.

🚀 Why book this session?
