I am Jose Torrado, a Software Developer with emphasis in Data Engineering based in the US. I have years of experience working with data at various scales and for a variety or purposes. My main area of expertise is Big Data processing - creating batch and streaming data pipelines. I do a good bit of Cloud Architecture design for my job, leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP) solutions mostly.

I love studying and learning new things - pretty much anything. Lately I have been intereseted in the idea of being a polymath - the concept really resonates with me so interesting to see there is a name for it! Especially taking hard concepts and making them simple enough for me to understand. I find that quite rewarding.

The picture, if you are curious, is an DALL-E generated render of my sweet dog Roco - although he looks a lot more thretening in there than he is.

Teaching is a great form of learning - If you understand something well enough to teach it to others, then you have learened it yourself (see Feyman Technique). That is what I am hoping to achieve here. Share what I learn as I go, maybe it will be helpful for someone else!

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."
