Hi There! I'm Adrian, a data engineer. At dlthub, I am one of the cofounders and original inventor of the first version of dlt.

I started my data career in 2012, in the Berlin startup scene, where I did 5y of employed work. I eventually moved to freelancing, because I liked to do more work and skip the drama.

In this time i built many data warehouses, data products and data teams and saw first hand the friction between data scientists and engineering, that came largely from a different toolset and abstractions needed. This made me try building various boilerplate loading code and identify the need with clarity.

My name is Akinbo Racheal, an author, writer, and researcher. I Possess a Master's Degree in Computer Science and currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Federal University of Technology Akure Ondo State Nigeria.

Born in 1987 I grew up in Germany raised by a single, unemployed mother, without any educational background or wealth.
Regardless, my mother put a lot of effort into my education, even as we struggled financially, and I was able to attend university and study law in 2009.
Besides studying I committed to honorary posts at the European Law Students' Association and cared for my mother, who became ill. I even had to take a two-year-break from university to tend to her and go working at a hairdresser's in full employment.
Shortly before I could write my final exams, I gave birth to my first child in 2017 and to the second one in 2020. I stayed home a while and restarted university in September 2023.
My key area of focus is Media Law, which includes the areas of IT, Data Security, Intellectual Property and many more.
Other than my studies and my little goblin children, my hobbies include reading (mostly science fiction and fantasy), pen and paper rpg, watching Buffy for the umphthousandth time, sewing and the dream of someday exercising martial arts again.

Martina serves as the Head of Data Engineering at Kiwi.com, where she oversees teams of analytics engineers and the data platform team.

Toomas started his journey working as a technician in Data Centers, making his way to working as an Application Administrator and Sysadmin building & maintaining Metrics and Logging systems (Zabbix & Elasticsearch). During that time, he started writing monitoring scripts in Python, ending up in inheriting a NOC software that was written in Python - giving him an opportunity to learn more about software development in Python.

In 2018, Toomas ended up leaving his home country of Estonia for someone he met in Tinder to "give love a chance"...

As he moved to the UK, he worked in some devopsy roles in London and Oxford. In the end, when things didn't work out - he ended up moving to London - working for what he'd like to think of as an Estonian company.

In London, he also met his current partner (in real life), who he's been together with for 3 years now.

During his time in Wise he's been able to work on systems at scale, progress through engineering levels (IC2 - IC5) - pursuing an Individual Contributor track and focus on solving interesting engineering problems.

I'm a Solution Engineer from dltHub. I've started my professional journey as a Data Scientist at Nokia. So I worked a lot with Telecommunication data and Time Series. Both Classical ML and Neural Networks were quite popular at the time, so I've used them in my projects. The next step for me was moving away from Data Science to MLOps, because I felt that the problem of moving from an ML model to a production is not solved but it is highly important. All questions about getting data, versioning, and proper testing are still on the table.

When I've joined dltHub 4 months ago, I've entered the world of Data Engineering. Having experience mostly in ML I had to learn how to talk in Data Engineering language. All the terms like schema evolution, data ingestion, and semantic layer were new to me. That is partially why I was so impressed by dlt Python library, cause it abstracted away a lot of these issues. Personally, I believe, that dlt could become a part of standard modern open-source data stack. Because it was built by people knowing what they are doing and tackling the problem of data ingestion hundreds of times.
