The accidental analytics engineer

There’s a good chance you’re an analytics engineer who just sort of landed in an analytics engineering career. Or made a murky transition from data science/data engineering/software engineering to full-time analytics person. When did you realize you fell into the wild world of analytics engineering?

In this session, Michael Chow (RStudio) draws upon his experience building open source data science tools and working with the data science community to discuss the early signs of a budding analytics engineer, and the small steps these folks can take to keep the best parts of Python and R, all while moving towards engineering best practices.
