The Data Engineering Show The Firebolt Data Bros

Too often expensive resources and manhours are spent on dashboards no one uses, resulting in zero ROI. Philip Philip Zelitchenko, VP of Data & Analytics at ZoomInfo met the bros to talk about adopting product management principles to ensure data projects have value, and provide an unfiltered peak into ZoomInfo’s data stack and unique tech culture. 

Matthew Weingarten, Lead Data Engineer at Disney Streaming, talks about principles essential for data quality, cost optimization, debugging, and data modeling, as adopted by the world's leading companies.

Data engineering should be less about the stack and more about best practices. While tools may change, foundational principles will remain constant. Joseph Mercado, Senior Data Engineer at LinkedIn, is on The Data Engineering Show to talk about principles that are key to success, leveraging AI for automation, and adopting software engineering methods. 

Joe Hellerstein is the Jim Gray Professor of Computer Science at Berkeley and Joseph Gonzalez is an Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. 
They’ve inspired generations of database enthusiasts (including Benji and Eldad) and have come on the show to talk about all things LLM and RunLLM which they co-founded.
If you consider yourself a hardcore engineer, this episode is for you.

There are two types of data influencers on LinkedIn:
1. Those who talk directly about the products and companies they work for2. Those that provide more general guidance, tips and opinions 
Can influencers actually be passionate about the products they’re developing and straightforwardly talk about them without sounding salesly? 
We’re kicking off 2024 with the amazing Megan Lieu on a new Data Engineering Show episode.
Megan is one of those influencers that combine the two approaches, and with almost 100K followers, her content seems to be resonating with many data folks. 
She talked to the bros about her approach to data advocacy as well as the power of notebooks, especially when they become broader and enable collaboration.

Every data team should have at least one data engineer with a software engineering background. This time on The Data Engineering Show, Xiaoxu Gao is an inspiring Python and data engineering expert with 10.6K followers on Medium. 
She’s a data engineer at Adyen with a software engineering background, and she met the bros to talk about why both software and data engineering skills are so important.
Without software engineering skills you’ll be limited to the rigid capabilities of your stack. But without data engineering skills you’ll find it hard to be cost effective and see the bigger picture.
