I've worked for more than 10 years as a software programmer and analyst, during which time I studied parallel programming and became a senior programmer specialist. In 2016, I switched jobs to a DBA position, where I've implemented new processes and created better monitoring tools, while I'm growing my data scientist skills to improve my customer's businesses.

You will learn to setup a test environment for any tool or software instantly without any hassle. You will learn how rapidly to design and build high performing data warehousing solutions.
