Guy Cutting Data Engineer, Instructor

Guy is an enthusiastic problem solver who has deep experience working with data, both on the front and back end. He began his career as a web application developer, working in ColdFusion, PHP, Java, and MySQL. He learned Python while studying Computational Physics and writing experimental control software for optics and radio telescope projects. Eventually his love of math and statistics led him into data science, where he learned to apply a wide range of models and techniques to gain insight from many different types of data.

Guy holds a master’s degree in Systems Science, an interdisciplinary field which uses diverse tools and methods to solve complex problems. Working as a Data Scientist helped him to realize that his real passion is for designing and deploying data processing systems that support front-end analysis and Data Science, and now his focus is in Cloud Data Engineering. He is an experienced communicator who enjoys translating technical problems for audiences of all backgrounds and skill levels. Guy is a Google-certified Cloud Engineer.

Parham Parvizi Founder, Data Engineering Expert

We’re excited to offer a new cloud data engineering track in partnership with Epicodus beginning March 14!

This new track will run on the same schedule as the web development cohorts. It will have courses in Intro to Programming, Data Engineering Fundamentals, Big Data Engineering, and Cloud Data Engineering, followed by an internship. This track also offers a comprehensive career services curriculum, and after you graduate, we'll provide a year of career services assistance while you look for your first job in the tech industry. If you’d like to take a closer look at what to expect out of this track, you can check out our course overview here: https://www.epicodus.com/data-engineering

Did you know…

There are currently 40K Data Engineering jobs on Indeed! In fact, the 2020 Dice Tech Job Report found it had the largest increase of all tech jobs between 2019 and 2020. AND 81% of data companies plan on hire more Data Engineers.

The newest course offered by Epicodus and Data Stack Academy—which starts March 14th—helps students break into the Data Engineering field. These Portland-based companies curated a state licensed 27 week course—which includes an internship.

So what do Data Engineers do? They build the infrastructure that manages an organization’s data. Companies are collecting more data than ever before. In 2020, they amassed 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. That data is becoming their most valuable asset. Companies want people like you to manage it.

|| About Epicodus ||

Our president, Michael Kaiser-Nyman, founded Epicodus in 2012. After becoming frustrated with how difficult it was to hire programmers for his software company, he talked with other employers and discovered he wasn't alone. At the same time, he knew many people who were struggling to find work. He realized that if there were a school that taught practical software development skills, people could get great jobs and companies could hire the staff they need.

Epicodus's first class started in early 2013 with just Michael and 8 students. Since then, we've grown to over a dozen staff and over two thousand students and alumni.
