My name is Stephen. I'm a full stack Python/SQL (and aspiring Rust) engineer with an eye towards learning data science, ML and data engineering!
- ๐ญ -> I am currently building a new project to visualize news headlines and get a bird's eye perspective on the news using Python, SQL, the BlueSky.social API, NLTK, Cognee and a Gemma2b model self-hosted on a customized Raspberri Pi 5!
- ๐ญ -> I recently built two public bike share data projects utilizing Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Streamlit, Playwright and Mapbox!
- ๐ฑ -> Iโm currently learning Rust, Kafka, Flink and Snowflake.
- ๐ค Iโm looking for help with debugging Flink errors and hitting the ground running with Snowflake and dbt.
- ๐ซ -> How to reach me: stephen.tanksley@gmail.com
- ๐ -> Pronouns: He/Him/His
- โก Fun fact: Before I got into data engineering, I sang opera and wrote a lot of music.
