While working at Bird Rides, Atzmon discovered Tableau’s modern-looking and intuitive environment and started mastering it in order to meet stakeholders needs for data driven decisions using an optimal experience and connectivity. At The Information Lab Atzmon came into contact with Snowflake, dbt and found his passion as an Analytics Engineer and all things surrounding this.
Picture this: You’ve just joined a new company, and the previous data engineer—let’s call him Bob—has left for a remote island with no Wi-Fi. You’re tasked with figuring out why
Upgrading software—the thing we all know we should do but sometimes fear because “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” right? Well, with dbt, staying up-to-date is not just about
Introduction For the last few years, dbt has been a staple in the modern data stack, allowing analytics engineers to transform data efficiently using SQL. But as data teams scale,
