This bootcamp program was a really great opportunity for me to grow and improve my skills. I learn a lot in SQL, learned new tools I never used before like Azure, Power BI, and SSAS in a good environment with people who share the same interest. I have learned a lot and feel more involved in the business and technology world. I didn’t practice my English, and this also gave me an opportunity to improve on that. I think this bootcamp program is a great opportunity for people who want to have real knowledge. It’s a great door to the world market.
