Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find the answer to your questions or are thinking of another paid service, please reach out to me at simon@ssp.sh
Why Should You Get a Blog Article Written by Me?
With over 20 years in the field, I’ve written for leading organizations such as Airbyte, Towards Data Science, freeCodeCamp, and Hackernoon. Recognized as a top writer on Quora. My expertise is well-established. I’m also writing a living book on Patterns of Data Engineering and have created the Data Engineering Vault.
I bring a unique blend of deep data engineering skills with proven writing expertise. My content is appreciated by many developers as I write from one to another. The articles educate your audience, drive traffic, and help build your brand’s credibility.
What Is Your Process for Creating Content?
Once we discuss your needs and goals, I will conduct thorough research to ensure the content is accurate and valuable. I’ll draft the content, share it for your review, and make any necessary revisions based on your feedback. This ensures the final piece aligns perfectly with your expectations.
How Long Does It Take to Complete a Blog Article?
The timeline depends on the complexity and length of the article. Typically, a basic article (2000 words) takes about 1-2 weeks, while more comprehensive pieces (3000-4000 words) may take up to 3-4 weeks. I prioritize quality and thoroughness in every piece.
What Are Your Rates?
Rates vary based on the service and scope of the project. Please reach out to me at simon@ssp.sh with details about your project for a customized quote.
Do You Offer Revisions?
Yes, I offer revisions to ensure the final content meets your expectations. The number of revisions included can be discussed based on the project scope, typically I have one round.
For any other questions, or you are interested in my service, feel free to reach out to me at simon@ssp.sh.
Do you Offer other Data Engineering Services?
The focus for now is on technical writing. However, I’m open to discussing Data Engineering Architecture Audits and workshops to bring your team up to speed. The goal is to educate and close the gaps in the data stack, starting new POCs with open-source DE tooling. This service would mainly be in Switzerland (preferred around Bern) or online. Feel free to reach out to know more.
