# Toward My Journey into Data Engineer

Hey readers, welcome to my first blog!

My name is Ricky and I am aiming to start a new career as a data engineer. In 2025, I challenged myself a bit and took the courage to share my learning journey in public.

Here are a short key points about me:

* I'm currently doing an apprenticeship in Data Science and AI. This field was new to me so I'm still adjusting to many things.
    
* I will start by sharing what I've already learned from the previous time cohort as a data engineer at DataTalksClub. As time passes by, I will slip a little bit about AI & ML topics later on.
    
* I was born in the capital city of Bangka Belitung, located on Bangka Belitung Island, Indonesia. In 2022, I earned a bachelor's degree in Informatics Engineering and have a plan to continue my studies and get a master's degree in the future.
    

Next time, I write another topic about big data and big data formats. Thank you for reading!
