Profile
Data engineering and data science are two closely-related fields. Yet they have two distinct roles and responsibilities:
- Data engineering is the process of collecting, storing, processing, and analysing data. Data engineers build and maintain the systems that make data accessible and useful for businesses.
- Data science is the field of study that combines domain knowledge, programming skills, and statistical methods to extract knowledge and insights from data. Data scientists use their skills to solve business problems, make predictions, and improve decision-making.
