Instructor Bio

Prashant Kumar Pandey has spent over 25 years in IT as a developer, architect, consultant, trainer, and mentor, working with international software services organisations on data-centric, Big Data, and AI projects. That production experience — not just theory — is what shapes how he teaches Databricks, Spark, and cloud data engineering today.

He is the founder, lead author, and chief editor of ScholarNest, a skill-development platform offering courses, training, and technical articles since 2018. He also publishes free training content on his YouTube channel, Learning Journal, and writes for a following of 43,000+ data engineering professionals on LinkedIn.

Prashant is a firm believer in lifelong, continuous learning. Alongside his course work, he authors technical books and articles to help IT professionals and students close the gap between the skills they have and the skills the industry actually needs — the same gap this course is built to close.
