Ask HN: Data Engineer?
I'm a developer who's looking to specialize in some branch of software development. I've always liked working with data: collection and storage, cleaning, formatting, visualization, processing and extracting some insights(sometimes using NLP/ML libraries or 3rd party API's).
I know there's a "Data Scientist" role but I'm more interested in the whole process and not that much in the "insights" part.
Is there a name for what am I describing?. Who do you think are the more important companies/professional within this area?
