I am a senior data engineer and trainer, a tech enthusiast, and a father. For more than ten years, I have been passionate about Data Engineering. Initially, I became a self-taught data engineer and then led a team of data engineers at a large company. When I realized the great demand for education in this field, I followed my passion and founded my own Data Engineering Academy. Since then, I have helped over 2,000 students achieve their goals.
