About Zach Wilson
Zach Wilson is a data engineer turned creator-entrepreneur who founded DataExpert.io, an online education company that teaches data engineering and AI engineering the way it is practiced at large tech companies. He says he previously led teams of data and software engineers at Facebook, Netflix and Airbnb before going independent.
He grew a large audience on LinkedIn and X under the EcZachly name by posting candid career advice and technical explainers, then turned it into paid cohort boot camps and a self-paced subscription. DataExpert.io, founded in March 2023, offers hands-on programs with free cloud access to tools like Databricks, AWS and Snowflake, and also helps engineers become content creators themselves.
According to Stripe-verified data on TrustMRR, DataExpert.io has passed $4.7M in all-time revenue, with subscriptions running at about $56K MRR on top of cohort sales, making Zach one of the most successful independent educators in technical content.
