Courses

• Monitoring Models in Production: Drift, Data Quality and Alerts: Catch broken pipelines, measure drift with statistics you build yourself, track performance when labels arrive late, and design alerts and retraining policies people trust. (Advanced, about 17 hours)
• Orchestrating Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow: Write, schedule, test and operate Airflow 2 pipelines in Python, with TaskFlow, data intervals, backfills, sensors and retries, and know what changes in Airflow 3. (Intermediate, about 15 hours)
• Real-Time Data Streaming with Apache Kafka: Run Kafka 4 in KRaft mode, write reliable Python producers and consumers, use transactions and schemas, and build windowed stream processing that copes with late data. (Advanced, about 18 hours)
• Kotlin Programming with IntelliJ IDEA: Write concise, null-safe Kotlin in IntelliJ IDEA: functions and lambdas, data and sealed classes, collections, coroutines, tests, and code that works hand in hand with Java. (Intermediate, about 11 hours)
• Introduction to Cybersecurity: Understand what cybersecurity protects, recognise common threats, and put the essential defences in place on your own accounts, devices and home network. (Beginner, about 9 hours)
• Security Operations: Monitoring, Detection and Alert Triage: Work like a security operations centre analyst: read the logs that matter, write and test detection rules in Python, look at traffic in Wireshark, and triage alerts into clear findings. (Intermediate, about 10 hours)
• CI/CD and Automated Testing: Build pipelines that test every change and release it safely: pytest suites with fixtures and coverage, GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines, quality gates, and deployment strategies that make releases routine. (Intermediate, about 17 hours)
• Site Reliability Engineering: SLOs, Error Budgets and Incidents: Run services by the numbers: SLIs, SLOs and error budgets, burn-rate alerts, toil and on-call, incident response and postmortems, capacity, safe releases and chaos experiments. (Intermediate, about 18 hours)
