PROJECT ADAM: HOW TO GET YOUR DATA CAREER STARTED
Viktória Horváth, Analytics Engineer @ Infinite Lambda
Join us for this unconventional case study to explore the real-world experience of starting a career in data, navigating the change, and finding a place that makes you happy.
From making the transition into data, to surviving the hiring process (+ best practices), this is a data-driven take on the realities of starting fresh in the data space.
Viki will share first-hand experience, giving you the tips to speed up the process and set yourself up for success. This talk promises no sugar-coating and a liberal amount of hard-earned lessons that will make your own ride less bumpy.
TAMING UNSTRUCTURED DATA WITH AI
Tomáš JanotĂk, Cloud Data Architect at EMARK
How do you get AI to see and collect data from images? You are asking the right person because Tomas has recently got it to do just that.
One of Tomas’s recent projects involved extracting data from supermarket images, such as products on shelves, brands, and price tags. Here, dbt was instrumental in processing the unstructured data effectively in the data warehouse.
The set-up included a directory table/stage in Snowflake, where images were uploaded, and an incremental dbt model was added on top of that to call an LLM function to extract the data from newly added files to a table.
This talk will showcase the key dbt features that make an AI-powered pipeline like this more effective. We will focus on incremental models, testing, jobs scheduling, and more.
MIGRATING A DBT PROJECT BETWEEN CLOUD DATASTORES
Tomas Sirny, Senior Data Architect at Slido
Switching from AWS Athena to Redshift is a hefty task that Slido’s data team have braved through and nearly completed. Senior Data Architect Tomas Sirny will take us through the approach, sharing best practices and tips that will help you avoid the pitfalls and accelerate your own project.
