March Meetup: Airflow Orchestration from zero to 100

RESCHEDULED FROM FEBRUARY

Joining us this month will be Bonnie Why, Data Engineer at Burns & McDonnell. Bonnie will be talking about the experience of moving to a unified platform for data at Burns & McDonnell the largest employee-owned, full-service architecture, engineering and construction firm in the United States. She'll talk about you to move fast when you have so many different priorities, and how her team, with zero Airflow experience, got a new source system into our data lakehouse in less than a day.

Come hear how they're using Airflow to build a scalable, reliable data platform that keeps up with ever-changing tech.

  Bonnie Why loves to ask "why." I actively want you to review my PR, pretty please. Despite not having a formal degree, the one-two punch of asking excellent questions and always searching for the tough stuff has led me to work with a wide variety of tech stacks. I've touched every layer of the stack -- from iOS mobile applications to microservices in Python and Java, even all the way to data engineering with Airflow and Databricks. I seek to not only find patterns but also create them. Unit tests are king, change my mind.
  In my free time, I enjoy coming up with endless nicknames for my dog, playing way too much Deep Rock Galactic, and perpetually refactoring my Notion setup.
