Stackle - Your Career Lab

## What you'll learn

Set up Claude Code for data work
Write a CLAUDE.md and use plan mode, so Claude follows your conventions and asks before it acts.
Build a Pipeline From Raw API Data to dbt, Live
Watch Claude Code load API data into DuckDB and turn it into a tested dbt model, step by step.
Catch What the AI Gets Wrong Before It Ships
Find the bug with dbt tests and a data contract, then answer "How do you know the AI's code is right?"

## Why this topic matters

Claude Code can write a data pipeline in minutes. Proving it works is the part that gets you hired: AI-written SQL can run without errors and still return the wrong numbers. In this session I'll build a pipeline live, from raw API data to a tested dbt model, then catch the mistake the AI ships. You'll leave with the starter repo and a simple way to check AI-written pipelines, at work and in interviews.

# How to Become a Data Engineer in 10 Weeks: The Job-Ready Roadmap in the AI Era
## What You'll Learn
Join us for an in-depth look at the complete data engineering roadmap and discover how AI is fundamentally changing the role. We'll break down the technical tools you need to master—from SQL and Python to data pipelines, orchestration frameworks, and cloud platforms—and show you exactly what separates engineers who get hired from those who don't.
## Why This Matters
Data engineering is evolving fast. AI is automating routine tasks, changing how we build and maintain data systems, and raising the bar for what companies expect from engineers. But here's the truth: the fundamentals still matter. This session cuts through the noise and shows you the skills that are actually in demand—and how to build them strategically in 10 weeks.
## What You'll Get Out of This

• A clear, step-by-step roadmap from fundamentals to job-ready
• How AI is reshaping data engineering roles (and what that means for your career)
• The technical tools and concepts you need to master
• Real examples of what hiring teams actually look for
• Insight into Stackle's 10-week Data Engineering Master Class—a proven path for mid-level professionals (analysts, SQL developers, BI developers) who want to level up fast

## Who Should Attend
If you're an analyst or BI developer looking to transition into data engineering, or a SQL developer ready to build more robust data systems, this is for you. You'll walk away with clarity on your learning path and exactly what to focus on next.
## How to Join
No prerequisites—just bring curiosity and a willingness to challenge what you think you know about data engineering.
