Courses

• MLOps Foundations: Experiments, Models and Reproducibility with MLflow: Track every experiment, package models with signatures, promote them with registry aliases and rebuild any training run, using MLflow on your own laptop. (Intermediate, about 16 hours)
• Enterprise Data and ML Platforms: Architect data lakes, lakehouses, streaming pipelines, hybrid cloud deployments and governed MLOps for an enterprise, and build working miniatures of each on your laptop. (Advanced, about 26 hours)
• Data Engineering Foundations: Batch and Streaming Pipelines: Build reliable data pipelines in Python and DuckDB: file formats, idempotent and incremental loads, partitioned Parquet, quality checks and a first stream. (Beginner, about 15 hours)
• LAN Switching: VLANs, Trunks and Spanning Tree: Configure, verify and troubleshoot Cisco switched networks: VLANs, 802.1Q trunks, inter-VLAN routing, Rapid PVST+ and EtherChannel, built and tested in Packet Tracer. (Intermediate, about 12 hours)
• Guided Project: Harden a Linux Server: Turn a fresh Ubuntu Server virtual machine into a hardened one: automatic security updates, a sudo user, key-only SSH, a default-deny firewall and fail2ban. (Guided project, Intermediate, about 2.5 hours)
• Linux Command Line Essentials: Work confidently in a Linux terminal: move around the file system, manage files, permissions, software and processes, analyse text with pipes, write shell scripts and work on remote machines over SSH. (Beginner, about 9 hours)
• Python Scripting and Linux for DevOps: Automate Linux servers with Python: scripts that manage files and run commands safely, command-line tools built with argparse and click, packages installed by script, and jobs scheduled with cron and systemd. (Beginner, about 16 hours)
