Introduction

The world is generating massive amounts of data every day. Organizations use this data to understand customers, improve business decisions, and identify new opportunities. Because of this, the role of a Data Analyst has become one of the most valuable careers in the technology field.

As I started my journey toward becoming a Data Analyst, I realized that learning is not only about knowing tools. It requires understanding how to collect, clean, analyze, and communicate data effectively.

In this blog, I will share my learning roadmap and the SQL concepts I am studying as part of my journey into Data Analytics.
