Introduce Yourself Here

[bhavaniravi]

We are all meeting for the 1st time behind the screens. So let's take a moment to get to know each other

Hey, I am Bhavani Ravi, I live in Chennai, and I'm a software engineer specifically Python Backend and Data Ops.
TheLearningDev has been my dream project, over the years I have done variations of it. This is my attempt at 3

Outside of work and TheLearningDev, I love painting, watercolors, gouache, and acrylic.
I love traveling and speaking at tech conferences
I used to be an avid reader but books have taken a back seat.
I've tried baking, gardening, and what not.

If there is one thing I constantly do consistently is trying not to fit into a box

[mowrishdev]

Hola amigos! I'm Mowrish Dev. You can call me Dev, either as in Developer or simply as my surname.
I am a backend application developer primarily working with Java and Spring Boot. I have a knack for data pipelines, so I'm here to have fun learning about them.
If I'm not at my desk coding, you can find me at the badminton court or on my couch sleeping. And I talk a lot.
That's about me. See you all this Saturday. May the force be with you :)

Hi folks! I am Aejaz Ahmed. You can call me Jaz if the name is hard to pronounce.
I am a database developer still in search of a niche that will work for me.
I like to learn about tech and stay up to date to match with Gen Z as much as possible.
Apart from coding I spend my time watching anime, reading manga, cooking and exploring food.

[yenceesanjeev]

Which anime would you recommend to a beginner?

[bhavaniravi]

Match the Genz, ha ha isn't that a goal.

[rachelleperez]

Hi - I am Rachelle from NYC, with the time difference it is pretty late here so it will be hard to stay up but I will try. Currently a Data Scientist exploring Data Engineering as a career.

[bhavaniravi]

Omg! Thank you so much for putting in the effort. Appreciate it.

May I know why the reverse switch? People usually revert from DE to DS?

[abigsmall]

oh wow I thought I was sacrificing with my 10 PM time

[rachelleperez]

@bhavaniravi Data Science is not as well defined (very broad) and hence challenging to become an expert in valuable transferable skills. Basically, it is easy to become a jack of all trades but a master of none. DE is much more focused and structured, both in skillset and ways of working.

[janaom]

lol 8am in Lithuania :)
