Data Engineering, Tech Lead & Architect Mentorship

This session is designed for professionals who want to grow beyond implementation into Tech Lead and Architect roles.

Along with data engineering and system design, I will also guide you on how to think and operate as a Lead — including decision-making, ownership, and team-level impact.

We will cover:

• Designing scalable batch and streaming data systems
• Real-world system design across on-prem and cloud platforms
• Choosing the right tech stack based on use cases and trade-offs
• Understanding data storage formats and processing strategies
• Building future-ready architectures aligned with current industry trends
• AI dependencies in modern data platforms (data readiness for GenAI systems)

From a leadership perspective, we will also discuss:

• How to transition from developer to Tech Lead / Architect
• Task breakdown, ownership, and delivery management
• Handling ambiguity, stakeholder communication, and decision-making
• Designing systems with long-term scalability and maintainability

This session is practical, experience-driven, and focused on real-world challenges faced in production systems and enterprise environments.
