Pet projects

Build real projects. Get hired.

We build these projects together to understand how real businesses use data. Then we frame your resume, tailor your skills to the job market, and calibrate you with Mock Interviews, Workshops, and System Design.

How it works

From your first project to your next job offer.

01

Build Real Projects

Every project maps to how real companies use data — not toy examples. You ship working code and understand the business context behind each decision.

02

Train Core Skills

Hands-on practice with the actual tools in the job market: dbt, Airflow, Spark, Snowflake, Databricks, Kafka. Each project targets specific skills that appear in job descriptions.

03

Frame Your Resume

After completing projects, we help you articulate what you built in resume language — mapping your work to the impact, scale, and keywords that get past ATS and impress hiring managers.

04

Calibrate for the Market

Mock Interviews, System Design workshops, and live sessions calibrate your knowledge against what companies actually test for — at the right level for the roles you're targeting.
