About DET:

Data Engineer Things (DET), founded by Xinran Waibel, is an online community and publication dedicated to curating learning resources for data engineers. The London chapter is focused on bringing together like-minded data engineers and practitioners to share experiences, and speak about high-quality real-world data engineer projects, and of course, socialise.


Talk submission:

If you'd like to submit a talk (or help us organise!) please reach out to Hugo or Tim Webster on Linkedin. Similar to the Data Engineer Things Medium blog, we recommend submitting talks on some of the topics below, which are educational and beneficial to the wider community!

Speaking about relevant professional experiences is also recommended:

Project ideas: Interesting data engineering projects you've done (ideally in a professional capacity)

---> Tech stacks: Building a batch/streaming pipeline on AWS, for example

---> Engineering process: Integrating CICD into data engineering dev cycle

---> Overlooked topics: e.g. how to design systems for high data quality

Which could be interspersed with stories about:

---> Career switching: Transitioning into DE from another field

---> Interviews: Preparing for data engineering interviews
