New Podcast Series: Data Engineering with AWS
Acquire the Skills to Design and Build AWS-based Data Transformation Pipelines
✨ Cloud-First Data Engineering ✨
This series is designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and practical skills to thrive as a modern data engineer—especially in the cloud.
Starting next Tuesday, and continuing every Tuesday thereafter, you’ll get access to a fresh, focused episode covering key data engineering concepts and AWS services—along with hands-on labs you can follow at your own pace.
🎯 Who is this podcast for?
This podcast was created with two audiences in mind:
Aspiring Data Engineers
If you’re just starting out or looking to switch into a data engineering role, this podcast will give you a strong high-level foundation, combined with practical labs to build your confidence and skills.
Data Professionals New to the Cloud
If you already work with data but want to upskill in AWS and cloud-native data tools, this series is your on-ramp. We’ll walk through AWS services, cloud concepts, and real-world use cases tailored to your experience.
📘 What you’ll learn
Over 17 episodes, we’ll explore:
The evolving role of data engineers in a cloud-first world
Foundational big data architectures and principles
How to build modern pipelines with AWS tools like Glue, Redshift, Athena, and Step Functions
Batch and streaming ingestion
Security, governance, and data cataloging
Visualising insights with QuickSight
Building transactional data lakes with Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake
Implementing cutting-edge practices like Data Mesh and DataOps
And much more…
Each episode is designed to be audio-first, giving you a clean, focused learning experience while you’re on the move. The hands-on labs for each chapter are hosted on GitHub and linked directly in the episode descriptions.
📅 When to tune in

Make sure you’re subscribed to this Substack so you don’t miss a beat. I’ll be posting episode summaries, lab links, and bonus insights right here with each release.
🛠️ Want to get hands-on?
The labs are 100% optional, but if you’re serious about leveling up your skills, I highly encourage you to follow along. They’re short, practical, and purpose-built to reinforce the concepts from each episode. You’ll find all the lab manuals in our GitHub repo (link will be included with Episode 1).
