Instructor Details

Hamid Qureshi

I am a data professional with 20 years of experience architecting, designing, and leading the deployment of many data warehouses, data analytics, and business intelligence solutions. During my career, I have acquired substantial experience and qualifications with various data analytics systems, including Teradata, Oracle, Hadoop, and modern cloud-based tools like Snowflake. I am currently in the role of a senior data architect and an enterprise architect. Despite the architecture hat, I am very much hands-on, and that is how I have designed my courses and books, a mixture of theory interlaced with hands-on exercise to re-enforce the learning.


Speaking of books, I have authored two books on Snowflake. The first one of these books is the Snowflake cookbook, published almost 2 years ago and has proven to be a great success. The second book is the SnowPro Core certification study guide to assist students with attaining SnowPro Core certification.


I am passionate about technology solutions for data warehouses, data lakes, and data lake houses. My goal is to assist & guide every data professional to fully understand the wonderful world of data and its associated concepts and enable them to design efficient and large-scale data analytics solutions.

It's prepared in a simple and easy-to-understand way. All the details necessary for everyday database use are explained, and the lab content is very well-prepared.

By Dmitry Ochnev on 2/9/2026

Useful information, comfortable length of the course. Some quizzes contain questions not covered by the course. This is not fair. A special minus for the manner of speech during demos: "this umm... and this umm... so umm..." (don't do this when explaining something).

By Sharaddha Adhikari on 2/2/2026

Yes its a good match for me. The trainer starts with the basics and that is what I was looking for.

By JOHN van de RIJKE on 1/27/2026

Great intro to snowflake, really liked the visualisations to explain concepts and the hands-on. The GUI is different from the training video's, not a big issue, it actually makes you have to "click around" and explore the GUI.

By Adrien Arcuri on 12/31/2025

The content is no longer up to date with the latest Snowflake features. The end of the course is a bit rushed, but it's good for learning the basics of Snowflake, let's say.

By Songita Das on 12/23/2025

I will admit that I took longer than I was expecting to finish the course. That said, I wasn't expecting the course to be so engaging. I loved the decision to have assignments that you could do in the course, and to also have walkthrough videos in case it was difficult to understand. There are some things I'm still confused about, but I feel much more confident about using Snowflake.

By Anup Rao on 12/3/2025

The course is excellent for anyone who is starting to learn about snowflake. Fundamentals are covered very well in this course.

By Anonymized User on 11/11/2025

It was very good course, and the hands-on sessions are very helpful for the better understanding of the snowflake.

By Abiroop Mohan on 10/23/2025

Clear introduction to the env, good hands on, not very difficult, but unsure of depth of the course. Comments based on the first 7 sections (completed by me).

By SRINIVAS TATA on 10/13/2025

Yes, The content is presented in a very coherent manner. All concepts are introduced in a gradual way - to build on previously explained topics. The hands-on labs are setup very well - that give a flavor of how the real system works. Thank you.
