ABOUT ME
A small introduction about myself
Simon Späti
Data & Business Intelligence Engineer from Switzerland
passionate about data, curious in life and author of this Blog.
About Now (What is this, my little page there)
I finished my latest blog about Business Intelligence meets Data Engineering with Emerging Technologies, where I elaborate about problems of today's BI and how we can solve them with data engineering tools and twelve approaches with it.
Listened to the latest book by Derek Sivers Your Music and People, which is fantastic again. It tells the story about how to sell your music, but which is an analogy to every business. Another read, recommended by Derek is Mindwise: How We Understand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want. I had to give five stars as well, as it's approaching our mind from an angle you probably haven't thought off. Very insightful.
At work, I'm learning every day with Kubernetes, Druid and dagster. And as well writing and coding on the next blog post, which will be more about practical data engineering with actual code examples! Keep you posted.
