I just completed the Data Ecosystem course, the 5th course in the Tableau Business Intelligence Analyst Professional certificate. It covered databases, data warehouses, data lakes, data architecture, data quality, data governance, and data management. Although it was very much an overview of these topics, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot about the “data engineering” side of things. A lot of which was new to me and it’s important that I learn these concepts even if it’s just knowing what it is and why it’s important or what role it plays in the field.

At the same time I’ve just begun the final stretch of my graduate program starting with Large Data Visualization. The second part of this semester, I’ll jump into Deployment of Advanced Analtyics and then in the Spring of 25, I will conclude with Deep Learning with Big Data first, and then, finally the Analytics Capstone!!
