Data Engineering Role

Im new to this data field and I have a very basic question.

Is data analyst experience any helpful for data engineering roles?

I have some experience with data analysis, only with my personal projects tho.

Im not much aware what exactly the task of a data engineer is but I have a little understanding that it has to do something with storing data. Im interested to study about it.
