All of us have heard about the title —
Data Scientist, the sexiest job of the 21st Century.
But is it really?

For many people who are new to the data industry, Data Science will be the first thing they hear about, and the title just sticks. Suddenly, everyone is either already a Data Scientist, or aspiring to be one.

However, that is not the only job title in the industry.

Greetings Data Practitioners,
Welcome to 2021, we made it.

Last year was a tough year, I think we can all agree to that.

Data never sleeps, even if there is a pandemic going on.

• What went well last year?
• What’s going on this year?

Throwback to 2020

Greetings data practitioners.

Welcome to 2021, where the new trend is all around Machine Learning.
Most employers, even data scientists themselves, are drowning in the thought of deploying that new Machine Learning model that predicts literally everything for them.

If you have ever been in the field, you would understand that most organizations nowadays don’t have the sufficient fundamentals to even venture into Machine Learning, but they still want to.

They have not even scratched —

• Proper data warehousing practices
• Full understanding of data owned
• Utilization of cloud tools to perform Machine Learning

That being said, data…

Greetings data practitioners,
I assume you are aware of the increase in demand for people who know how to communicate data. This is exactly why we should always seek to improve, learn more, and sharpen our skills in the data science industry.

Even with all the hype around Machine Learning, Data Visualizations do not lose their importance. Exploratory Data Analysis is often required before any Machine Learning is even planned out.

Large tech companies often need to communicate the data they own.
We are the ones that execute.

A very good example would be google and their known, google trends.

Promotions are stressful.

Good day everyone,
I hope everyone is doing their part by staying home and staying healthy. It is only a matter of time before we are released back into the wild again, and the frontline workers can relax for a bit.

While staying at home, I understand things can seem to be a little blur. We are unsure of what is happening out there, and that can feel like living under a rock. Lucky for you, I’m here to offer you the perfect solution. A Coronavirus website.
