About Phila
I started my career as a Software Developer before transitioning into Data Engineering myself, so I understand firsthand what it takes to make that switch successfully. With hands-on industry experience building production-grade data solutions across cloud platforms and a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science, I've led cross-functional teams delivering real business impact through data.
Beyond my day job, I'm passionate about teaching - breaking down complex concepts like data modelling, cloud pipelines, and orchestration into simple, practical lessons for beginners and career switchers.
My goal is to help you build genuine, job-ready skills through hands-on projects, not just theory, so you can confidently step into a data engineering career.

My lessons are designed for complete beginners and career switchers who want to become confident data engineers. We'll cover the essentials step by step: SQL and Python programming, data modelling (including Inmon, Kimball, and Data Vault methodologies), database normalisation, and cloud platforms like Azure. I'll also guide you through practical topics such as data ingestion pipelines, slowly changing dimensions (SCDs), medallion architecture, SQL performance tuning, orchestration tools like Airflow, and many more. Lessons are hands-on, with real-world projects to build your portfolio. I also offer dedicated interview preparation, covering technical questions, system design, and practical exercises to help you land your first data engineering role with confidence.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I’ve known Phila for 3 years as a colleague — she’s a senior data engineer and the person everyone on our team goes to when things get stuck.
Her teaching style is hands-on and super clear. She takes topics like cloud data warehouses, and ETL pipelines and makes them make sense by tying them to real projects, not just theory. She’s calm, explains things 3 different ways if needed, and gives you space to figure it out yourself.
Standout moment: She mentored me through building my first data pipeline from scratch. She didn’t do it for me — she guided me, reviewed my code, and explained every mistake so I actually learned.I had the opportunity to work with Phila while I was a Data Engineer, and she helped me build a strong understanding of database concepts, SQL, and normalization. She explains complex topics clearly, is patient, and uses practical examples that make learning much easier. Whenever I got stuck, she took the time to explain the concepts instead of simply giving me the answer, which helped me gain confidence and improve my problem-solving skills. I highly recommend Phila.She is very dedicated,knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping others learn.
