About the instructor

Like many others, I started my data career using drag-and-drop tools and traditional databases.

Then I joined a team using dbt, Snowflake and GitHub and felt overwhelmed with how to actually use it. It was all so different.

Fast-forward to today and I now help Fortune 100 companies to greenfield startups implement dbt with modern workflows and cloud databases. 

I'm a dbt Certified Developer (Nov. 2022) and have taught ~3 million aspiring engineers through my YouTube Channel (@KahanDataSolutions).

But this took years of practice, trial and error and learning on the job.

This course not only teaches you step-by-step how to use dbt, but shares tips, tricks and lessons based on my real-life experience as a data consultant.

You'll fast-track your learning, avoid common mistakes, and feel confident contributing to any project.

I hope to see you in the course!
