Course Description

"Data is the new oil".


You might have heard the quote before. Data in digital era is as valuable as oil in industrial era. However, just like oil, raw data itself is not usable. Rather, the value is created when it is gathered completely and accurately, connected to other relevant data, and done so in a timely manner.

Data engineers design and build pipelines that transform and transport data into a usable format. A different role, like data scientist or machine learning engineer then able to use the data into valuable business insight. Just like raw oil transformed into petrol to be used through complex process.

To be a data engineer requires a lot of data literacy and practice. This course is the first step for you who want to know about data engineering. In this course, we will see theories and hands-on to introduce you to data engineering. As data field is very wide, this course will show you the basic, entry level knowledge about data engineering process and tools.


This course is very suitable to build foundation for you to go to data field. In this course, we will learn about:

  • Introduction to data engineering

  • Relational & non relational database

  • Relational & non relational data model

  • Table normalization

  • Fact & dimension tables

  • Table denormalization for data warehouse

  • ETL (Extract Transform Load) & data staging using pyhton pandas

  • Elasticsearch basic

  • Data warehouse

  • Numbers every engineers should know & how it is related to big data

  • Hadoop

  • Spark cluster on google cloud dataproc

  • Data lake


Important Notes

Data field is HUGE!  This course will be continuously updated, but for time being, this contains introduction to concept, and sample hands-on for data engineering.

For now, this course is intended for beginner on data engineering.

If you have some experience on programming and wonder about data engineering, this course is for you.

If you have experience in data engineering field, this course might be too basic for you (although I'm very happy if you still purchase the course)

If you never write python or SQL before, this course is not for you. To understand the course, you must have basic knowledge on SQL and pyhton.

Timotius P

Timotius came from small Indonesian city but now working on it's capital : Jakarta. He's been in software engineering job for years. His first job was in the large consumer finance in Indonesia. Then he took a role as Engineering Manager on Indonesian unicorn. Few moments after, he moved back to another large Indonesian consumer finance and take a role on Engineering & Architect Head.

Taking the role as Head, he get more time to coach his team members about software engineering practice.

With more than 5 years experience as Java developer, and for the last few years handle enterprise complexity as Engineering Manager & Enterprise Architect, he will be glad to deliver high quality courses containing information of various technologies and software architecture design skills that he has acquired through his professional experience.

His goal is to deliver courses that not only good in theory, but also applicable in real-life use cases. His courses give the concept, and the hand-coding experience. He will  also provide various resources, including source code to hands-on coding.

Great course on Data Engineering Using Google Cloud & Python. The course has a detailed explanation of Data Engineering concepts and examples.

By IT Training on 12/8/2024

The slides are colorful and the theory is excellent. Haven't got much on the coding part, but I like the way the course structured. Instead of blindly go to code, the course teaches about why an item is required through its theory. Then it sync with the hands coding part

By Jonathan Oloruntoba on 6/12/2024

This course is not structured to cater to a beginner. Even with a background in SQL and Python I struggled to stay up to speed with the course. This is mainly because the examples used are too complex and their entity relationships too broad, such that you will get lost while following the lessons on the ETL process. For example, one of the datasets in the example used has over 200 000 rows! I think this level of complexity is not necessary for 'introducing' data engineering. There is no effort to explain the syntax of the scripts used e.g. for raw connections to DB and for loading, a beginner will obviously be seeing these scripts for the first time. This course is good at describing the landscape and the concepts involved in data engineering (theory) but not ideal for learning the practicals. This is not a course for beginners and should not be advertised as such.

This guys is simply amazing. He put a lot of thought and even more hard work into his courses. I like how pedagogically he approaches the material and gradually explains critical parts with excellent analogies and excellent pictures.

By Valerian Mahdi Pratama on 1/2/2023

The overall course is nice, providing the necessary basic for what to expect as a data engineer and data modelling with several demo using GCP solution. The course is clear with easy to follow pronounciation. However, it would be better if each section have a sanity-check quiz too to ensure understanding of the material.

By Angel Bernardo Santiago Antonino on 12/27/2022

Excellent, I was watching a little part of the course, but with this I can said that is an very complete course like other courses of Timotius

By Alejandro Tirado on 11/7/2022

it is a good course to getting started in this difficult work of data engineering

By Andri on 10/21/2022

Spent my weekend learning this course. It is a GOOD investment. The slides are interesting, and the instructor explains in easy-to-understand manner. Will buy another course from this instructor when I finish this one

By julio Moreno on 10/2/2022

I'm just moving from one role as DBA to another role as a Data Arquitect and this would be nice to know , due are the basis for my next step.

By Anonymized User on 8/17/2022

The instructor has very good ditatic skills, explaning everything for the beginning, so it makes more sense
