A little context about me

Ever since I got into data, deep down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos and uncountable Medium articles about stuff like statistics, ETLs, Python vs Scala and what-not, I realized that someday I wanted to be the person making that kind of content and teaching about data and tech.

I started writing articles about my challenges as a newbie data engineer, working for companies that started exploring the field of data analysis and engineering. Times in which people didn’t really know the difference between a data scientist, a data analyst and a data engineer.

Recently in 2023, I was offered to further develop and teach a course on Data Engineering at a local university — the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires. I was thrilled! I was going to step up and start teaching live classes with students!

So I grabbed what the past year’s material was, recruited 2 wonderful teachers, and started developing the course further.

We started with 8 students in 2023, and ended up with 50 students this 2024!

So here’s what I learned this past 2 years teaching technology, particularly Data Engineering .
