12-16 Week Progress Timeline

A structured, phase-wise approach to mastering data engineering from foundations to production-ready pipelines.

Phase 1: Foundations (Weeks 133)

Database concepts: OLTP vs OLAP. SQL from refresher to advanced: joins, aggregation, window functions. Python for data scripts and data modeling basics. Mini-task: build queries and views for reporting layer.

Phase 2: ETL & Warehousing (Weeks 436)

ETL concepts: extract, transform, load, incremental loads. Build ETL workflows with SSIS/ADF/Glue. Design star schema data warehouse for Retail/Banking. Mini-project: end-to-end batch pipeline from OLTP DB to DWH.

Phase 3: Big Data & Cloud (Weeks 7310)

Intro to Big Data and Spark. Write PySpark jobs for large datasets. Streaming basics with Kafka. Cloud fundamentals: storage, compute, security. Airflow/ADF pipelines: orchestration, dependencies, retries. Mini-project: API/file ingestion to cloud to Spark to DWH.

Phase 4: Production & Capstone (Weeks 11316)

Best practices: partitioning, file formats (Parquet/ORC), optimization. Data quality checks, error handling, logging. CI/CD basics and environment separation. Capstone project: design and build a full modern data platform with documentation.
