Hey, I'm Mehdio 👋

10+ years in data — from on-prem Spark clusters at AXA to cloud data platforms at Klarna, Back Market and Trade Republic. Now the first DevRel at MotherDuck (DuckDB in the cloud).

Today I work at the overlap of data and AI — building AI workflows for data engineering, and helping people who aren't engineers do real things with data.

I believe learning should be fun, so I teach it through talks, videos and live demos.
