Key skills to focus on when learning data engineering for AWS?

I’m am a data analyst looking to learn some data engineering with the end goal to work with AWS so I can pivot to a Data Strategy Consultant role at Accenture.

The entire data engineering and cloud ecosystem is pretty overwhelming and I’m not sure where to start. Ideally, I want to be able to work on a couple of personal projects to beef out my CV, that will help me get exposure to key skills as I go.

What do I need to look at, and where do they fit into the ecosystem? I currently have experience with Python, SQL, and Power BI.
