Hello Aspiring Data Engineers,
I’m Sebastian, a passionate Data Analyst with over eight years of hands-on experience in the field, based in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. My journey in the data realm began with a strong educational foundation in Business Administration and Management from Falsebay College, which equipped me with a robust understanding of business operations and strategies. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in SQL, PowerBI (DAX), and Azure Databricks, among other tools, which have been crucial in developing and maintaining BI solutions that ensure data accuracy and reliability.
My transition into the world of data wasn’t just about technical growth but also about understanding the impact of data on real-world decisions. I’ve led and contributed to projects that span across various domains such as supply chain management, healthcare, and financial services, where the power of data to transform traditional models and improve efficiency has been unmistakably clear.
Currently, I am focusing on transitioning fully into a Data Engineering role. This journey has been filled with learning and adapting new technologies that support large-scale data processing and analytics. I’m particularly excited about the potential of decentralized applications and how blockchain technology can innovate the way we handle data security and transparency.
This blog is a platform for me to share my experiences, challenges, and insights as I delve deeper into the intricacies of Data Engineering. Whether you’re just starting out or are somewhere in the middle of your journey, I hope to provide valuable information and tips that will help you in your career. We’ll explore everything from essential tools and technologies to advanced concepts in data integration and automation.
Stay tuned as we embark on this data-driven adventure together!
