I liked that it was practical. Loved to apply the theoretical knowledge with practical examples.

Aurelia-Adriana - Allianz Services Romania
Course - Python and Spark for Big Data (PySpark)

The course was about a series of very complex related topics & Pablo has in-depth expertise of each of them. Sometimes nuances were lost in communication and/or due to time pressures and possibly expectations were not quite met due to this. Also there were some UHG/Azure Databricks setup issues however Pablo / UHG resolved these quickly once they became apparent - this to me showed a high level of understanding and professionalism between UHG & Pablo,
