What motivated you to specialise in Data Engineering?
My background in Data Analysis, Machine Learning and Cyber Security has allowed me to explore different aspects of data, but I quickly realised that Data Engineering is a central part of the ecosystem. Without robust pipelines and optimised infrastructures, Machine Learning models or data analyses cannot be exploited effectively.
During my master's degree in digital health at EPITA, I became aware of the importance of data infrastructures in a sector undergoing rapid transformation. The sheer volume and complexity of healthcare data requires high-performance architectures, and it was this dimension that prompted me to develop my skills in Data Engineering. This specialisation now gives me a better understanding of the entire data processing chain and a more structured and efficient approach.
How did the training at Artefact meet your expectations in terms of practical learning?
What I was looking for above all was practical learning that could be applied directly in the workplace, and the training at Artefact totally fulfilled that expectation. Thanks to a project-based approach, each theoretical concept is immediately put into practice through real case studies, inspired by assignments carried out at Artefact.
One of the most striking aspects for me was the opportunity to work on tools and technologies used daily by professionals in the sector, such as Apache Spark, SQL and the AWS and GCP cloud platforms. This immersion has enabled me to acquire technical expertise that can be directly put to use and to gain a better understanding of the challenges of data engineering, particularly in sectors such as digital health, where data management is a critical issue.
What role has educational support played in your training?
The teaching support was a key element in my apprenticeship. The teaching team is made up of working professionals, which brings real added value: the instructors don't just pass on technical concepts, they also share their vision of the business and the best practices to adopt in the workplace.
The fact that I had regular exchanges with experts enabled me to ask specific questions and get feedback tailored to my needs. What's more, the fact that the participants helped each other reinforced the collaborative learning process: by working with people from different backgrounds, I was able to discover other approaches and methodologies, which helped me to progress more quickly and adopt a broader vision of Data Engineering.
