In a constantly evolving digital environment, the demand for experts in data engineering and architecture is higher than ever. The need to maximize scalability and performance in transformation processes within distributed environments often requires redesigning data models based on each type of technology, as data is the foundation of todays AI systems and is developed in Cloud environments.
In this microcredential in Scalable Data Models and Architectures, you will learn to design high-performance information systems, gaining the necessary skills to work as a data architect in professional settings. Through a practical and cross-disciplinary approach, you will develop the technical and operational competencies required, acquiring a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the data lifecyclekey to leading digital transformation processes at a professional level.
If you already have knowledge in data engineering and are looking to specialize and acquire new skills, this program will provide you with the strategic vision to take your career to the next level.
Sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
- Transformation techniques
- Efficiency, scalability, and maintenance
- Data Architect: This is the most direct path. You'll be responsible for designing, building, deploying, and managing an organization's data architecture, ensuring it is scalable, secure, and efficient.
- Data Engineer: You can specialize in building and maintaining the systems and pipelines that transport and transform data, working with complex and large-scale infrastructures.
- Big Data Architect: You'll focus on designing specific solutions for processing and storing massive volumes of data, using technologies from the Big Data ecosystem.
- Data Consultant: You'll advise companies on how to design and implement the best data strategies and architectures to meet their business goals.
- Chief Data Officer: With the right experience, you can aim for leadership roles, defining the company-wide data strategy and leading data teams.
- Data Scientist: Although it's a different role, a strong foundation in data architecture is highly valued, as it enables the creation of environments needed for analysis and predictive modeling.
