Databricks training built on your real tools

Your analysts and business users don’t need a data engineering course. They need someone who built the platform, understands their day-to-day and knows how to explain it in plain terms. Training on your data platforms: Databricks, Power BI, Genie, SharePoint. And AI at work for the whole team, with Claude.

TWO WAYS TO START

Déclic

AI at work, for the whole team

An introductory workshop, scoped on a framing call and built on your real examples. We demystify AI and data: what they can do in your business, what they can’t, and how to ask good questions to a tool like Genie or Claude.

Data & platform onboarding

Your users, your tools, your use case

I sit down with your teams, start from your environment and a real use case, then build sessions tailored to fit: SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Databricks, Claude, Power BI, Genie. Your people leave capable, not just aware.

We map the real work before building a single session.

Scope

We explore your tech stack and your data, and pick a real use case that means something to your teams.

Design

I build custom content, calibrated to the actual level of each persona: business, management, analyst.

Deliver

Lively, hands-on-keyboard sessions, in French or in English depending on your team.

Equip

Cheat sheets, templates and sample queries: the autonomy stays with the team after I leave.

I deliver directly or through partner firms: these sessions can slot into your training catalog as they are.

Concrete topics, adapted to the persona in front of me.

Genie One

Formerly Databricks One. Navigate the workspace without getting lost: find the right data, understand what you’re looking at.

Genie Agents & natural language

Formerly Genie Spaces. Ask a question in plain English and get a reliable answer, and know when to be suspicious of one.

Self-serve Power BI

Build and read a dashboard, hook up Databricks as a source, stop waiting on the data team.

Excel & connectors

Get the data out to where people already work, cleanly, with no manual copy-paste.

SharePoint integration

Move data between SharePoint and the platform without breaking existing processes.

Data & AI literacy

The foundation: understand what a number is really telling you, know which ones to question, and work with AI, especially Claude, like a colleague.

My track record in numbers

90+

banners served by the Databricks platform I led at a restaurant franchisor.

BI

dashboard for senior leadership I was product manager of at CAE.

5+ years

translating data between technical teams and decision-makers, in large enterprises and small businesses alike.

The common thread: people tell me this often, my strength is bridging tech and business. I earn teams' trust quickly and get to know their day-to-day; once I have that full picture, we decide together where to attach the technology.

Teams that leave autonomous. Not dependent.

Restaurant franchisor · previous employer

Reading your BI in Databricks AI/BI

At a restaurant franchisor, I trained the internal legal and accounting teams to read their reports directly in Databricks AI/BI. The data already lived on the platform.

Autonomous

business users reading their own data in Databricks AI/BI, no specialist in the loop.

From zero AI to autonomous in design

They started with no AI at all. We codified their design system and I taught the owner Claude Design, so he now shapes the site himself and brings his agency a clear brief for the launch instead of looping over the vision for weeks. The agency keeps the last mile, SEO and AEO.
