Hi, I'm Andreas Kretz
Senior Data Engineer, Educator, and Founder of the Learn Data Engineering Academy
I am a Senior Data Engineer and Trainer, tech enthusiast, and a father. I have been passionate about Data Engineering for over a decade.
First as a self-taught Data Engineer and then Data Engineering team leader in a large company. When I realized how much need there was for training in this area, I followed my passion and started my own Data Engineering Academy.
Since then, I helped thousands of students achieve their goals.
I'll show you how you too can become a successful Data Engineer or use Data Engineering in your job.
Our students found jobs at:
Data Engineering is changing fast. The engineers who stay ahead are the ones who keep building.
AI is changing what tools engineers use. But experienced judgment about what to build, why, and how to make it survive scale is still entirely human.
That is what this Academy teaches.
Learn Data Engineering content is based on the latest market standard and is constantly being expanded.
With our expertise, we have already boosted the careers of tens of thousands of people online.
