My Strategy for Sharpening Data Skills: Project-Based Learning

I've stopped tutorial hell and am now focused on a production-focused learning strategy. Here's what my daily routine looks like.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share what my current learning journey looks like. I've been focused on a more aggressive, hands-on approach to sharpening my data skills, and it’s a lot different from how I used to study.

My entire routine is now centered on building projects. I've been deep-diving into SQL, Python, and core data engineering concepts by working on my own projects. Every project is version-controlled and pushed to GitHub.

I'm prioritizing:

Building full-stack projects to practice database design, from ERDs to schema.

Solving real-world scenarios to practice query optimization and data transformation workflows.

Applying what I learn directly into code—no shortcuts.

I'm focused on moving from theory to practical application. The goal is to build a solid foundation that can be used directly in a professional environment.
