Data Engineering: The Fastest-Growing Job in Technology | How to Break into This In-Demand Industry

02/13/2022

We know you're excited to meet our next team member, Guy Cutting––an instructor and Data Engineer at DSA and Tura.io!

Guy is an enthusiastic problem solver who has deep experience working with data, both on the front and back end. He began his career as a web application developer, working in ColdFusion, PHP, Java, and MySQL. He learned Python while studying Computational Physics and writing experimental control software for optics and radio telescope projects. Eventually his love of math and statistics led him into data science, where he learned to apply a wide range of models and techniques to gain insight from many different types of data.

Guy holds a master’s degree in Systems Science, an interdisciplinary field which uses diverse tools and methods to solve complex problems. Working as a Data Scientist helped him to realize that his real passion is for designing and deploying data processing systems that support front-end analysis and Data Science, and now his focus is in Cloud Data Engineering. He is an experienced communicator who enjoys translating technical problems for audiences of all backgrounds and skill levels. Guy is a Google-certified Cloud Engineer.

David Nielsen (Data Architect) is a curious and creative data wrangler. He first leveraged these skills designing machine-learning algorithms at NASA Ames, where he published research that was able to detect previously unknown safety risks in the national airspace. From there, David moved to Tura.io, where he expanded his data skills to big data and the cloud. As a consulting data architect and engineer, he has designed and built data pipelines using Apache Spark and built scalable machine learning solutions to critical industry challenges.

David earned his master’s degree in Computational Linguistics from the University of Washington. This field focuses the power of machine learning onto the complexity of natural language. He has used this to integrate natural language models into data pipelines. His current focus is Cloud Data Engineering where he leverages the power of cloud computing to build on-demand data pipelines.

Google BigTable is great tool for bridging the gap between highly transactional, low-latency applications (like mobile apps) and backend big data analytics. Now BigTable offers auto-scaling which drastically reduces the Cloud charges to pay only for what you need. Check out the article below:

Google Cloud is introducing autoscaling for Bigtable, enabling users to automatically add or remove capacity in response to the changing demand of applications. In a blog post, Anton Gething, Bigtable product manager and Ashish Chopra, cloud-native databases product marketing lead, announced that wi...

We will be introducing the DSA team over the next couple days!

First up....

​Parham Parvizi is a founding member of Tura.io and DataStack.Academy. Tura is a group of professional Cloud Data Engineers and Architects while Data Stack Academy is the most comprehensive Data Engineering bootcamp; training the future of Cloud Data Engineers.

Parham has been a Data Engineer and Cloud/Big Data Solution Architect for nearly 20 years working for major silicon valley tech companies. He started by loading floppy disks into an IBM 8086 machine to play games at the age of five. He learned programming as a teenager by hiding bookmarks on the shelves at Barnes & Noble. He now guides companies as a senior advisor on their digital transformation to the Cloud.

Parham is an Apache Software Foundation contributor and was an early adopter and contributor to open source Big Data projects as Map Reduce and Hive. He was one of the founding members of Talend and helped their growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific market during the early years of the company. As a Talend ambassador, he’s trained thousands of users around the world. Later, he served as a Big Data Product Manager at Pivotal (currently known as Vmware Tanzu). He was a team member for Greenplum Distribution of Hadoop and led the team behind a Hadoop distributed SQL query language called HAWQ.

As a Data Advisor and consultant, Parham’s has had the opportunity and pleasure to work with nearly every fortune 100 company over the years. From managing thousands node clusters to optimizing data task that you are familiar with behind the scenes.
