The situation this course is for
Who this is for
Senior IC Snowflake data architect with proven technical execution and growing scope, aiming to set de facto standards across teams
Who this is not for
Engineers focused only on individual ticket completion or those not involved in design decisions or peer alignment
What you walk away with
