Image
Feel very happy and motivated that the PublicBI team has been shortlisted as one of the finalist in the EU Datathon 2018 competition organized by the Publications Office of the European Union. For more details about EU Datathon see the official website  https://publications.europa.eu/en/web/eudatathon/speakers .   Congratulations to all the finalists and all the best! This now also means that I have to put some of my planned articles (example GDPR) on hold so that I can work on the Datathon topic.

AWS Innovate 2018 - Interesting and Useful

Image
Today I received my certificate for attending the AWS Innovate 2018 Online Conference on 19th July 2018. I had managed to attend all of the sessions from the Big Data and Analytics track and couple of sessions in the AI and Machine Learning track (see agenda below). All of the sessions that I attended were quite interesting and useful. If you have missed don't worry there is still an option to watch the sessions using the on-demand option for free.  See  https://aws.amazon.com/events/aws-innovate/ . If you have attended other tracks and can recommend a must watch session that would be great. I would like to sincerely thank all those who were involved in making this event successful. I can imagine the hard work that would have gone in making this happen based on my experience in organizing the first ever BI Online Conference ( PublicBI BIKON May 2018 ). Looking forward to more such events from AWS team.  AWS Innovate 2018 Agenda Screenshot - Click to enlarge

500 Days of IBI

Image
For all those people who are following my blog, especially on the IBI topic, I am happy to announce that I have now completed 500 days of data capture. For all posts related to IBI see  IBI posts . Just by being disciplined enough to capture the data for 500 days and the fact the I managed to do it and still continue doing it, there is some sense of achievement even though nothing is achieved.  So today I spent some time in data analysis, reflected upon the days that went by using data. Went through the details of the mistakes that I have made, the days I was not happy, etc., to understand if there is a recurring pattern and to tell myself that I shouldn't repeat those. I also made some changes to the data capture template and included new charts too.  I have now added a "Year" column in the data capture template because now I have data for more than a year.  With this addition there is possibility to compare same months across years and also to compare year on y

ETL developer vs Data engineer

Image
Rephrased question : ETL developer vs Data engineer Answer : Unfortunately there are no strict industry standards on these job titles. That is just one part of it. Before ETL tools such as DataStage, Informatica, Ab Initio, etc., became popular, developers were hand coding every ETL flow. These ETL tools shortened the ETL flow development time to a great extent and allowed ETL developers to focus on business rule/logic/requirement (what to implement) than how to code it or optimize the code. There are many other benefits of using a tool but I won’t go into that in this answer. So an ETL developer with experience in these tools without any programming (coding) experience was/is able to design and develop end to end data flows. Whenever new types of source/target data format comes up, these tools catch up but it takes time, i.e., the ETL tool provider (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, etc.,) adds new components/connectors within the ETL tool to be able to work with new data format. For example, let’

3 years of IBI

This week (on 19th Feb 2020) I completed 3 years of IBI. To celebrate it I have created a Dashboard in Google Data Studio. So from now on instead of using the charts in the Google Sheets I will use the Dashboard. Google Data Studio is more user friendly and mobile friendly too, also it comes with easy to use filters and drill down/up capabilities. PDF version of the first 2 pages of the shareable dashboard is attached below. I am happy to share the first 2 pages of the IBI Dashboard, reach out to me if you would like to get the Google Data Studio IBI dashboard. Once you get the dashboard (without my data of course) you can make a copy of it and point it to your IBI data (assuming you have started), add more charts, pages, etc., and use it for your benefit. Like with every year, this IBI year too I have learnt a lot about myself, made new mistakes, changed several things about me. The benefits of IBI is much more than we can think of. Use it to know it. And what are some of the
