I’m Afaque, Solutions Architect at Databricks. I've cracked offers @ Apple, Uber & Atlassian. Previously, I was a Senior Data Engineer at QB/McKinsey & Urban Company (formerly UrbanClap). This channel was created out of my endeavor for teaching and simplifying complex data engineering concepts and, in doing so, perhaps offer a fresh perspective on how we approach them. Watch out videos on my channel for best-in-class videos on Apache Spark, complex SQL, Advanced Python, and, emerging topics in the area of data engineering.
