Involvement in the community

I teach real-time data engineering to a global audience through my YouTube channel, CodeWithYu (35,000+ subscribers), with end-to-end project tutorials built on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink covering real-time pipelines, event-driven architectures, and stream processing patterns. I publish the full source code for every project on GitHub (github.com/airscholar), speak at international conferences including PyData London, Big Data Minds Europe, and DevOps Pro, and help practitioners adopt Kafka-based streaming architectures through blog posts and community Q&A.
