I'm a Data Platform Engineer with over 10 years of experience building large-scale data systems, currently working at Babbel in Berlin.

My background spans real-time streaming pipelines, Databricks, and Snowflake — including reducing event-pipeline latency by 60% at Babbel, building a company-wide Data-as-a-Service platform at Play Games24x7, and leading report pipelines serving 500+ monthly reports at Vertoz Advertising.

I started my career working with early Hadoop and Hive deployments and have since worked across the full data engineering stack: Python, PySpark, Kafka, Databricks, Terraform, AWS, and CI/CD.

I built this course to teach the same skills I use daily as a working data engineer — not just theory, but the practical patterns, optimizations, and troubleshooting techniques that come from a decade of running production data pipelines.
