Used my experience and struggles while learning from online videos. There are lot of simple projects in the web whereas. in real work atmosphere you need depth and integration experience handling multiple DATA tools. Hence thought of building upon projects with enhancements would the best way to CUT THE CLUTTER in becoming a TRUE Databricks Integration Expert. Someone who is not only expert in Databricks but knows how to integrate messages using kafka, build modular SQL using DB, ingest rest API and delivery AI capabilities (LLM) as well.
SUMMARY
1. LIVE coding of End-to-End Data Engineering (Not Just Tools)
The core teaching is how data flows from source to insight, covering:
- Event-driven ingestion with Apache Kafka
- Analytics transformations with dbt Labs
- Unified batch + streaming processing using Databricks
Learners understand why each component exists, not just how to click buttons.
This is engineering-first, not slideware.
2. AI-Augmented Data Engineering with LLMs
A major differentiator of this course is teaching:
- How to build an LLM-powered chatbot connected to pipelines
- Using AI to explain transformations, detect data issues, and assist debugging
- Applying LLMs for self-service analytics and platform observability
AI is taught as a practical accelerator, not abstract theory
List of Projects which we will build as we talk through in the videos LIVE coding:
- PROJECT 1 Start with a simple project . Housing Prediction V1 uses scikitlearn.
- PROJECT 2 Enhance PROJECT 1 . Housing Prediction V2 uses multiple ML models and around 40 features.
- PROJECT 3 Enhance the project further by adding chatbot using LLM with structured queries
- PROJECT 4 Enhance PROJECT 2 even further by making it enterprise ready. Here we add chatbot using LLM with unstructured queries (free text like whatsapp) using LLM and OpenAI
- PROJECT 5 Here we focus on integration skills integrating Streaming Messages with Databricks
- PROJECT 6 Here we focus on integration skills integrating Streaming Messages with DBT and Databricks with enhancements
Become DATABRICKS Integration expert (NOT only databricks tool) quickly by doing DATA INTEGRATION PROJECTS
