Wrong Queries Are Fine

Work You Can Defend
Is this for you

Whichever stage you are at.

Tools. No project.
SQL. Python.
Power BI. Excel.
You have done the tools. But nothing you touched came without instructions attached.
A lending dataset with no answer key
Feedback on your actual queries
Work you can show in any interview
Most common
Experience. Narrow scope.
ML done.
Data gaps still there.
You built models. But financial data, Databricks, SQL investigations at scale. That part is still missing.
Databricks on resume, actual work to back it up
SQL + AI in a real financial case
Know exactly where your gaps are
Learning AI. Weak foundation.
Following AI.
Data work still shaky.
You are following AI closely. But the data investigation skills underneath are still thin. This is where you build them.
SQL investigation as the foundation
See what strong data work looks like
Work you can explain and defend
Student. Graduate.
College, Kaggle,
YouTube. All of it.
You have been preparing. But placements reward visible work. One investigation changes how you walk into that room.
Portfolio work before you graduate
Certificate you earned, not downloaded
Nobody else in your batch has this
Not for you if
✗ You want answers handed to you ✗ You cannot commit 1-2 hours daily Mon-Fri ✗ You want a recorded course, not live work

What the work actually looks like.

These are real submissions from real people. Eight batches in. This is what happens when you commit to seven days.

5 Cases. Same Investigator
One investigator across 5 case tabs in Databricks. This is what iterating every day looks like.
What you walk away with

Three outcomes. One week.

01
Something to show

Your Investigation Work

Your queries, decisions, and findings across seven days. Documented in Databricks. Work you can open and walk someone through.

02
Recognition that means something

A Completion Certificate

Not for watching videos. For staying active in the case and submitting all 5 days. Issued Sunday 9 PM.

03
Confidence in interviews

Something Real to Talk About

When someone asks what you have worked on, you have a real answer. Lending analysis, borrower behaviour, default patterns, and your own investigation across seven days.

What investigators say

Real words. Real work.

"Instead of just writing queries, I learned to connect data with real-world consequences, to translate raw numbers into meaningful, decision-ready narratives."

"Where I was standing on an empty road with confusion, I finished all cases with certification. Viresh's feedback made me think before writing any query, understanding in terms of business perspective."

"I worked with CASE statements before but never knew you could use them with aggregation functions. This is exactly why this case exists, to dig deep into what stays hidden in tutorials."

"This is my first time solving real-world SQL problems. I already learned something I would never find on LeetCode, on day one."

"Instead of just running queries, I focused on understanding the business behind the data. This experience really changed how I approach data analysis."

Day by day

5 rounds.
One dataset.
One serious week.

You work on the same lending dataset through the week. Each round, you look again, think better, and improve your investigation. By Friday you can see the difference between your first attempt and your last.

5 Submissions on the same dataset. each one better than the last

Before you join

Before You Join

Everything you need to decide. No pressure.

You should be able to write a SELECT statement, filter rows, and join two tables. If you have done a SQL course or worked through HackerRank SQL, you are ready. If you have never written SQL before, start there first and come back.
That is fine. Wrong queries are part of the process. The point is to stay in the work and keep improving. Submitting something is always better than submitting nothing.
No. Access details and instructions are shared after payment. You do not need prior Databricks experience.
No. This is a live 7-day investigation with working deadlines, batch activity, and live sessions. There is no watch-at-your-own-pace option.
Saturday is a live data architecture and project walkthrough. You will see how stronger data work gets structured beyond just writing queries. Schema decisions, data flow, and what more advanced project work actually looks like.
Continue the week and stay active in the case. The value is in doing the work across all 5 days, not only watching the sessions.
Yes. New batch every Monday at 7 PM, subject to seat availability. Pay once, pick your week.
You leave with your completed investigation work, a completion certificate if you submitted all 5 days, and access to the Saturday session recording.
