Financial Data Engineering - Tamer Khraisha

Today, investment in financial technology and digital transformation is reshaping the financial landscape and generating many opportunities. Too often, however, engineers and professionals in financial institutions lack a practical and comprehensive understanding of the concepts, problems, techniques, and technologies necessary to build a modern, reliable, and scalable financial data infrastructure. This is where financial data engineering is needed. A data engineer developing a data infrastructure for a financial product possesses not only technical data engineering skills but also a solid understanding of financial domain-specific challenges, methodologies, data ecosystems, providers, formats, technological constraints, identifiers, entities, standards, regulatory requirements, and governance. This book offers a comprehensive, practical, domain-driven approach to financial data engineering, featuring real-world use cases, industry practices, and hands-on projects.
