If you have been looking for a career in tech, now’s the time! In our webinar, Data Stack Academy and Epicodus will discuss how to become a Data Engineer—tools to learn, finding an internship, how to attract employers, and more. Questions are welcome—either by chat box, email prior, or live during the webinar. Meet the speakers: Rachel BussertDirector of Operations Rachel Bussert (she/her) is the Director of Operations at Epicodus, where she's been a part of the team for eight years. Very much an idealist, she moved to Portland 2015, looking for an opportunity to pivot away from more profit driven management positions in favor of work making a positive difference in the world. Epicodus's mission of helping folks learn the skills they need to get great jobs turned out to be a perfect fit. Epicodus focuses on serving people who, by birth or circumstance, don't have easy access to learning these skills, so before taking over day to day operations of Epicodus, Rachel led the school's career services team, coordinating the internship program and guiding students in learning the skills they need to job search effectively in the tech industry. She has had the privilege of helping hundreds of our students coming from diverse backgrounds, from fast food cooks to flight attendants, find their first job in software development and looks forward to assisting many more. Guy CuttingData Engineer, InstructorGuy is an enthusiastic problem solver who has deep experience working with data, both on the front and back end.
