dbt 101 (EU and US-friendly)

Carly Kaufman and Claire Carroll

Carly is a recovering Texan and technology consultant who has spent the past two years building a BI stack (using dbt!) for a well-known Denver-based photo printing company. When she’s not geeking out in SQL, you’ll find her enjoying the Colorado outdoors with her husband, daughter, and Wally the Labrador.

As the sole analyst of a fast-growing Sydney startup, Claire experienced the pain of the traditional analyst workflow—stuck on a hamster wheel, an ever-growing backlog, and numbers that never quite matched up. So she taught herself dbt, the command line, version control and brought all the rigor of analytics engineering to her team. Along the way, she fell so in love with dbt that she eventually packed up and moved to the US to lead the growing dbt community.
