About:

Hello I'm Christophe, I've been working in data engineering for the past 8 years and I'm fond of everything that is data related since day one. I want to give back to the community, since the beginning I learned so much by myself thanks to all the resources we can find online. Now you will be able to find here a weekly newsletter regarding data engineering. Do not hesitate to subscribe to the newsletter, I promise no spam, only relevant content like I would love to read myself.
