Gaurav Verma

My goal was to transition from a data analyst role to a data engineering role, Gaurav did a great job to help me achieve that goal in 6 months. Initially, Gaurav helped me to identify the gaps in my knowledge and put together a roadmap for learning the skills I needed; these included Hive, Spark, Airflow and AWS. The learning resources provided were good and Gaurav was excellent at explaining data engineering concepts or answering any questions I had. Once I felt ready to start making applications, Gaurav also provided advice about my portfolio projects, insight about the job market and helped me with interview preparation.

This is my second review of Gaurav. I am pleased to share some exciting updates. Firstly, I have successfully obtained my AWS Data Engineer Associate Certificate, and Gaurav was incredibly helpful in guiding me through this achievement.

His comprehensive mentorship has been pivotal not only in securing my new job but also in planning for future career growth. Gaurav has laid out multiple pathways for career advancement, including opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI within the data engineering domain. Furthermore, Gaurav assigned me projects on generative AI and its applications within the realm of data engineering and AWS. As a data engineer, these introductory steps were incredibly beneficial, and I am confident they will significantly enhance my new career.
