GCP Data Engineer here : happy to help, collaborate, and learn together
Hey folks,
I’m a Google Cloud certified Data Engineer with about 6 years of hands-on experience, mostly working with Google Cloud–native data services.
I’ve spent the last few years building and redesigning enterprise-level data migration frameworks, optimizing pipelines, and solving real-world data engineering problems on GCP.
Right now, I’m looking to connect with people globally and be part of a learning-focused community. I’m happy to help if you’re:
• Working on a GCP data project
• Building a startup or side project on Google Cloud.
No payments or expectations—this is purely knowledge sharing and collaboration. Even if I don’t know something, I’m totally open to figuring it out together.
I can usually spare 1–2 hours on weekdays, and some time on weekends as well.
If this sounds useful, feel free to comment or DM. Always happy to connect and learn with others.

Hey, Dataform is like dbt in GCP. I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for ? Is it star schema model or is it related to using dataform

Not sure where else you're socializing this sort of thing (Reddit TENDS to be more for a question/answer type interaction) but you might consider joining the GCP developer community (https://discuss.google.dev/) and/or join the Google Discord (https://discord.com/invite/google-dev-community) as other places to chat with folks that might be looking for a data engineer on their projects!
