Meet Your Mentors

Learn from people who've done the job

Every mentor on this course has spent years doing this work inside real organizations, not just teaching about it.

EV

Elena Vasquez

Cloud Infrastructure Mentor
12+ Years, Multi-Cloud

Twelve years designing and migrating infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP for mid-size and enterprise clients. Elena focuses on teaching the architecture decisions that matter once a system is handling real production traffic, not just passing a lab exercise.

RP

Raj Patel

Cloud & DevOps Mentor
10+ Years, DevOps Lead

Ten years building CI/CD pipelines and container platforms for fast-moving product teams. Raj brings students through the same automation and deployment workflows he runs day to day, rather than a simplified classroom version of them.

Grace Lin

QA & Testing Mentor
10+ Years, Test Engineering

Ten years leading QA for enterprise software releases. Grace teaches students to think about test coverage the way a release manager does — where the real risk is, not just where it's easy to test.

Do I need SQL Server experience before this course?

Yes, familiarity with T-SQL and traditional SQL Server administration is recommended as a foundation for this course.

Does this course cover migration from on-premises SQL Server?

Yes, migration planning and execution using Data Migration Assistant and Azure Database Migration Service is a core module.

Is performance tuning covered in depth?

Yes, query and index tuning, Query Store analysis, and monitoring are covered extensively as they are heavily tested on the DP-300 exam.

What background do I need for the DP-300 course?

A basic understanding of relational databases, including SQL Server fundamentals and T-SQL, is recommended before joining this course, since DP-300 focuses on provisioning, managing, and securing databases on Azure rather than teaching SQL from scratch.

How are DP-300 classes structured?
