PySpark Tutorial | Learn PySpark
PySpark is the Python API for Apache Spark, a powerful open-source framework designed for distributed computing and processing large datasets. By combining the scalability and performance of Spark with Python’s simplicity, PySpark has become an essential tool for data engineers and data scientists working with big data.
Databricks | Building an ETL Pipeline on Road Accident Data Using PySpark
When I started learning data engineering, I always wanted to try a real-world dataset instead of just “toy” examples. So I picked up the India Road Accident Dataset from Kaggle and built a complete ETL pipeline using PySpark and Delta Lake.
Note: This project is a sample ETL pipeline I built for learning and practice. It’s not production-ready, but it’s a great way to understand how raw data becomes analytics-ready data step by step.
In this blog, I’ll walk you through how I designed the pipeline using the Medallion Architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold). Don’t worry if the terms sound heavy, I’ll explain everything in plain English

Agentic AI Roadmap for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving fast, and one of the most exciting areas today is Agentic AI — systems that don’t just generate responses, but also plan, take actions, and use tools like a real assistant.
If you’re new to this space, the learning path can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created a step-by-step roadmap that will help you go from zero to building Agentic AI applications.
StoryTime | My First Project Experience in IT — From Panic to Growth
The day I joined my first project as a fresher in an MNC, I thought I’d start slow — maybe shadow someone, understand the system, or assist with small tasks.
But no.
I was handed a 4,000-line shell script — the main script of the entire module — and told:
“Go through this today. Share your understanding tomorrow.”
How to Become a Data Engineer from a Non-Technical Background: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you interested in transitioning into data engineering, even though your background is not in technology? You’re not alone. Many people from fields like business, healthcare, or the arts dream of harnessing the power of data but worry that their lack of technical experience will hold them back. The good news: breaking into data engineering is absolutely possible—with a roadmap and determination.
StoryTime| From Content Writer to Data Engineer: A Path I Never Planned
If you’d asked me in college what I’d become after graduation, I’d have probably said:
“Maybe a Python content writer… definitely not a developer.”
I wasn’t into competitive programming.
I was somewhere between a “basic coder” and a “kuch toh aata hai” coder.
But life — and career — had different plans for me.
StoryTime | How I Overcame My Fear of Speaking and Gained Confidence in College?
I was never a topper.
I was never a failure either.
I lived somewhere in the “decent marks zone” — the middle child of academia. Not loud enough to be noticed, not quiet enough to be forgotten.
But if you asked me what I really lacked during my school days, it wasn’t grades — it was confidence.
