Why learn with
Data With Baraa
Years of data experience, shared with you
Built From 17 Years of Industry Work
I worked in data at three major companies in Germany.
I have seen what works, what breaks and what matters, and I share all of it with you.
Industry-relevant tools: Python, SQL, Tableau & more
Best practices for architecture and data quality
Past roles, in career order: IBM, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz.
If you’re a visual thinker, this is for you
Visual Learning That Lasts
Forget the endless slides and heavy theory.
Every concept comes with a hand-drawn, animated sketch, so you see how it works instead of memorizing it.
See each idea drawn step by step
Understand how each tool works and when to use it
Projects, not just lessons
Build Real Portfolio Projects
You build end-to-end projects the way modern data teams do: you design, clean and deliver data.
By the end, you’ll have a portfolio that shows what you can do.
Work on the data problems companies face every day

Hear from the
Data With Baraa community
“OMG you just saved my career! … I got a return offer thanks to you!”
“Very clear instructions, easy to follow with the exercises. I was 0 before the course and now my confidence is pretty high”
“Finally, after 15 days, I completed the whole 30-hour course. And oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect.”
“Baraa you just adopted me for one year and my whole career is set!”
“He teaches everything from a granular level, by the time we get to the complex stuff, you are already familiar with why and how things work.”
“Hey baraa, with your Tableau and SQL courses I have cracked an interview and tomorrow is my joining.”
“Paused on the 3rd hour just to type and say thank you! This course has helped me get the job I want and I want to thank you so much!”
“Baraa is a phenomenal teacher. … This course is worth much much more than the price. It's a steal deal!”
“One thing that separates your channel from the rest is the sketches. They really help simplify concepts.”
“I've been working with Tableau for about 4 or 5 years, and I've learned more in this course than any other course or experience I've had.”
“The most important part for me, especially with learning SQL, is how Baraa helped me to visualize all steps.”
“Yes, it is now official! I have found the BEST TEACHER for ADVANCED SQL on YouTube.”
“I'm 58, emigrated to a new country four years ago and changed from the accounting field to data engineering. I love my job very much.”
“The best course in Python for people like me that have 0 experience! Thanks Baraa.”
“This is an entire four year course and many years working experience summarized in 30 hours. Amazing!”
