Geek is the best word, I can find to describe Ankit. Bringing more than a decade extensive experience of the industry, he never sits back and relaxes, always experiments with technology advancements, but at the same time, he is a good father, husband,son, brother and a fantastic friend. A bit introvert Ankit takes sometimes to open up.

When not doing programming software, he will be programming family outing.

Study Pattern

I have covered my study from three major sites

1. Udemy CCDAK practice test. https://www.udemy.com/course/confluent-certified-developer-for-apache-kafka
2. Linux Academy or A cloud Guru https://acloud.guru/learn/c13b61a8-1f28-446f-81d4-188420ad62c0
3. Apache cookbook https://www.packtpub.com/product/apache-kafka-cookbook/9781785882449

I have downloaded confluent kafka. Set up a single node cluster and try to run various commands like creating a topic , creating consumers, producers. It was very helpful in remembering various shell commands. Various types of windowing strategy available like Hopping, Tumbling Session and Sliding. Stateless and stateful transformations are must.

finally just to say All the best. Keep learning 🙂
