About us
The Perth Data Engineering Meetup is the bringing together of folks that are interested in the movement of data and everything that it entails to make it reliable, trustworthy and performant.
The world of data is extremely broad so we focus specifically on engineering and not other disciplines such as Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, Analytics and others because we feel that there is already so much to talk and share about in Data Engineering.
It is our sincere hope that you find this meetup as a place to learn and share in your growth as a data engineer.
