Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between data engineering and data science?

Data engineering focuses on building and maintaining the infrastructure that collects, stores, and processes data. Data science uses that data to extract insights and build models. I handle the engineering side, ensuring your data scientists have reliable, high-quality data to work with.

Which cloud platform is best for data engineering?

Each platform has strengths: AWS offers the most comprehensive services, Azure integrates well with Microsoft ecosystem, and GCP excels at big data and ML. I'll recommend the best fit based on your existing infrastructure, team skills, and specific requirements.

How do you ensure data quality in pipelines?

I implement multiple layers of validation: schema validation, data profiling, anomaly detection, and business rule checks. I also set up monitoring and alerting so issues are caught and resolved quickly.

Can you work with our legacy systems?

Yes! I have extensive experience integrating modern data platforms with legacy systems. I can build connectors and transformation layers that allow you to modernize gradually without disrupting existing operations.

How long does it take to build a data pipeline?

Simple pipelines can be built in 1-2 weeks, while comprehensive data platforms with multiple sources and destinations take 2-4 months. I typically start with a critical use case to deliver value quickly, then expand.

What about data security and compliance?

Security and compliance are built into every data engineering project. I implement encryption at rest and in transit, proper access controls, audit logging, and ensure compliance with GDPR and Swiss data protection laws.
