acknowledgments

This book is the result of a lot of work, reflection, and learning. Along the way, I was lucky to have people who supported and cheered me on, shortening and brightening the darker moments of the journey.

First, I’d like to acknowledge my editor at Manning, Rebecca Johnson, for her relentless feedback as I wrote and rewrote the chapters you’re about to read. I would also like to thank Mike Stephens, who encouraged me to dive into this project. While I enjoyed writing from an early age, engaging in a book was definitely outside of my comfort zone.

Thanks, too, go to technical editor Keerthivasan Santhanakrishnan for his help. Keerthivasan is a data engineering expert with more than 20 years of experience building enterprise solutions that transform how organizations detect anomalies and extract strategic insights.
