Top SchoolTal Gluck is a Developer Relations professional with nine years of experience bridging engineering, product, and community for data-focused open source projects. Based in Utrecht, he has progressed from data engineer and software engineer roles into advocacy and product management at Great Expectations, contributing backend fixes, dataset profiling enhancements, and visualization tweaks to the flagship data quality project. He combines a strong empirical background in data analysis and automation with hands-on engineering—having scraped, validated, and processed large civic datasets and built tooling that saved teams weeks of manual work.

Currently at GitBook after a developer advocacy stint at GlareDB, he thrives on turning complex data workflows into understandable, testable developer experiences. A detail that stands out: his trajectory blends production engineering, product leadership, and craft-based research, giving him an unusual mix of technical rigor and design sensibility.
