Julio Suriano
Data Engineer at Gap Inc"Over the past 6 weeks, I have honed my data engineering skills through Zach's intensive bootcamp... But it wasn't just about the education - I also had the opportunity to connect with exceptional data engineers and learn from prominent voices in the field. These enlightening sessions provided invaluable insights to elevate my professional prowess."
Scott DeGeest
Chief Data Nerd at Big Data Science Solutions"Fact data modeling: Maybe the most powerful part of the course. This week offered insights on storing and condensing complex historical fact data. I have already used these techniques at work, and much to my delight they are very effective."
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."
Mitali Gupta
Student"One of the most rewarding aspects of the bootcamp was the ability to immediately apply the knowledge gained. The techniques and strategies taught by Zach have already proven effective in my day-to-day work."
