Stop Coding, Start Diagramming: How to Build Data Platforms That Deliver
If you're rushing to hire a data engineer before you have a clear business question, you’re doing it backwards.
I'm joined by Teddy Bernays (Freelance Data Engineer) to unpack his "business first" approach. Teddy shares his journey and explains why simplicity and a solid plan always beat the latest tech stack.
His top advice: "Find the problem you want to solve first. Is data the answer? Only then should you start building."
In this episode, we cover:
▶️ Why you should hire a Data Analyst before a Data Engineer
▶️ The "Diagram First" rule for technical projects
▶️ How to escape the painful world of legacy spreadsheets
▶️ Finding freelance clients in the real world (get off LinkedIn!)
▶️ Using AI to finally solve your documentation problems
