Welcome to the Course: Your Journey into Data Engineering Begins Now
Hello and welcome to this course!
My name is Nikolai Schuller, and I am delighted to be your instructor. I know you are eager to get started, so let's dive right in. But before we begin, allow me to introduce myself briefly.
I am Nikolai, and my passion revolves around data and teaching. With a background in mathematics, I started my career as a business intelligence consultant. Over time, I transitioned into data science and later found my calling in data engineering. Since I did not come from a computer science background, I had to learn everything from scratch. This journey has allowed me to fully understand the challenges that come with acquiring these skills.
That’s why this course is designed not just from my experience but also from the obstacles I faced along the way. My goal is to share these insights with you so that you can overcome challenges and achieve your career aspirations. Teaching is something I truly enjoy, and I want to see you succeed. This is what motivates me the most.
Connecting with Me
I am originally from Germany, so you might notice a slight accent in my speech. If you would like to stay in touch, the best way is through LinkedIn or Instagram. I frequently share insights about data engineering and data science on these platforms. Upon completing this course, feel free to mention me in a post—I would be thrilled to congratulate you on your achievement! On Instagram, I also share personal updates, so feel free to follow me there as well.
Making the Most of This Course
To ensure you get the most value from this course, I strongly encourage you to set a goal. For example, commit to completing the course within 20 days by dedicating 30 to 60 minutes each day to learning. Holding yourself accountable in this way can make a significant difference in your progress.
Additionally, if my speaking pace feels too fast or too slow, you can adjust the playback speed in the player to suit your preference.
