Master data engineering and AI like a big tech engineer
What Our Students Say
Rakesh Rao
Student"As a data platform engineer with two small kids at home, I needed a structured program that would make every minute count and this bootcamp delivered exactly that. Zach isn't just an instructor, he's an engineer who has actually built things in the industry. If you're a working engineer looking to upskill into AI, especially with limited time, I'd highly recommend this bootcamp. It's one of the best learning investments I've made."
Lubo Bali
Student"What I liked most is that you actually do the work, not just watch videos. Zach made us personal accounts in Databricks so we practice on the same tools companies use every day. Zach makes you do the work and explain what is going on. The more you practice the more things click. Good bootcamp, would recommend."
Shwetha Kashyap
Student"Zach is a great tutor. DE lessons were packed with valuable gems. The video lessons were easy to follow and understand. Instructions to set up coding environments and Discord participation, support from Zach's staff were all great. Highly recommend this course."
Emmanuel Tloome
Student"Over the past 45+ days, I had the opportunity to participate in the Finish 2025 Strong 50-Day Data Challenge program, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. The program was well-structured, practical, and focused on building real-world data engineering and analytics skills."
Miguel Jimeno
Associate Professor"A very useful set of 6 weeks of classes and labs. This is not an entry-level bootcamp though, but the learning and networking opportunities are worth the investment."
Abhishek Anand
Student"The data we used for these assignments were not off-the-rack datasets but we used the real-time data which Zach has collected from his platforms and his own DE learnings, helping the learners understand the concepts better."
