I have about 28 years in this field. I moved to an ML/AI company about 18 months ago, where I started using Python, Postgres and Spark for the first time. Enjoying the change - I work as a Lead Data Engineer and spend my time figuring out how to optimize the process of getting "code" from data scientists and making it a product. I still code, but I spend a lot of time thinking how to improve code quality and improve efficiency (from a process point of view).

It's really nice not building another OLTP related product/tool/service.
