Let’s kick things off for another Meetup, this time focusing on the collaboration of data scientists and data engineers, as well as data streaming in the VW environment.
Join us on October 30th in Berlin and bring all your questions!

**Tom Kaltofen:** "***What Data Scientists Actually Need from Data Engineers: A ‘Data Producer’ Perspective"***

[Tom Kaltofen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomkaltofen/) is an Engineer at DHL Data & AI and a Creator at mloda.ai. In his keynote, he'll explore how data engineers can better support data scientists, BI, software engineers, analysts and management by understanding their real needs and designing data products accordingly. He’ll share practical lessons from his own industry experience: what worked, what didn’t, and the trade-offs involved in real-world data workflows. Since data engineering often involves navigating competing approaches, we’ll also look at some of the pros and cons of different methods, but always with the different data user groups in mind.

**Alex Kalinnikov:** ***"Event-driven data streaming platform at VW Group"***

[Alex Kalinnikov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-kalinnikov/?originalSubdomain=de) is a Product Owner at CARIAD with over 10 years of experience in IT & Infrastructure. He will talk about how Cariad handles 180M telemetry messages per day with a modern data streaming architecture and how Cariad UDE Solution leverages Confluent Kafka, Apache Flink and Microsoft Azure to move terabytes of IoT data.
