Join us as we sit down with Joe Reis, live at Big Data LDN (London) 2024. Joe shares his partnership with DeepLearning.ai and AWS through his new course on Data Engineering. Joe's new course promises to elevate your data skills with hands-on exercises that marry foundational knowledge with cutting-edge practices. We dive into how this course complements his seminal book, "Fundamentals of Data Engineering," and why certification is valuable for those looking for foundational, hands-on knowledge to be a data practitioner. 

But that's not all; we also dissect the hurdles of adopting modern data architectures like data mesh in traditionally siloed companies. Using Conway's Law as a lens, Joe discuss why businesses struggle to transition from outdated infrastructures to decentralized systems and how cross-disciplinary skills—a concept inspired by mixed martial arts—are crucial in this endeavor as he cleverly calls it 'Mixed Model Arts'.
