#118 Freelancing as a Data Engineer - Hero Talk with the "Seattle Data Guy" Ben Rogojan

In this Hero Talk episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Ben Rogojan, better known as the "Seattle Data Guy." Ben is a data engineer, YouTuber, and freelancer with a background at Facebook. He's become a go-to expert on freelancing for engineers, particularly in the data space.

We dive into Ben's journey from being a full-time engineer to making the switch to freelancing, how he built his own business, and the unique challenges freelancers face in this space.

We also explore how to break into freelancing, the value of specializing in a specific skill, and practical tips on landing your first freelance clients.
