Hi there ๐Ÿ‘‹

My name is Raffael Dzikowski and I'm a senior data engineer currently based in Munich, Germany. I'm passionate about building Data Platforms in a cloud environment (currently AWS). I enjoy architecting and infrastructure work as well as building tools that make working with data easier for people for whom data engineering is not a main focus, the goal being that they can access the data lake and get the answers they need at the level of abstraction they are most comfortable with. The architectural paradigm I've been interested in lately, which enables this kind of approach without growing the data part of the organization out of proportion is the Data Mesh Paradigm proposed by ThoughtWorks.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Public Talks

Here's a list of my public talks over the past few years

๐Ÿ’ป Technologies

In terms of programming paradigms, I'm especially fond of the functional programming approach but have done a lot of object oriented programming as well.

  • IAM
  • VPC
  • EMR
  • RDS
  • Glue (particularly the Glue Data Catalog)
  • Secrets Manager
  • Simple Systems Manager
  • ECS & EKS
  • Route53
  • ELB & ALB
  • Kinesis Data Firehose
  • Managed Streams for Kafka
  • Lambda
  • Step Functions
  • Amazon S3

Programming Languages and More

  • Hadoop
  • Apache Spark
  • Apache Kafka
  • Apache Storm
  • Presto
  • Scala
  • Java
  • Typescript
  • Bash

๐ŸŒ Spoken Languages
