WHERE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE MEETS PROVEN GUIDANCE
You're good at what you do. Now let's accelerate your growth.
The Challenge
You’ve put in the hard work of learning data science. Maybe, like me, you’re self-taught and have navigated the complexities of building your career from the ground up.
That’s why you’re where you are today.
But you’re also aware enough to know that reaching the next level requires more than just continuing on your current path.
Right now, you need two things:
1. A proven framework that helps you skip the trial and error
2. Strategic guidance from someone who’s been there
You need someone who’s walked this path, helped others navigate it successfully, and can show you exactly which steps to take next. Someone who will challenge your approach, help you avoid common pitfalls, and accelerate your growth through proven strategies.
My Approach
Let’s be clear… I won’t give you generic career advice or tell you to “just build more projects.”
That’s exhausting and ineffective.
Having taught data science at every level - from university students to senior practitioners - I know exactly what moves the needle at each career stage. I’ve helped countless professionals accelerate their growth by focusing on the right things at the right time

About Me
I started my data science journey during my PhD in 2015, teaching myself everything from scratch. Through trial and error, I learned exactly what works - and what doesn’t - in building a successful data science career. Today, I serve as a lead data scientist at a healthcare non-profit, where I build and lead teams that create meaningful impact.
Since my second year of university, I’ve been an educator, helping others learn and grow in their technical careers. I’ve trained countless data scientists from junior to senior levels, and I’ve seen firsthand what makes the difference between those who progress steadily and those who accelerate rapidly in their careers.
My approach combines deep technical knowledge with practical, proven strategies that I’ve used to help data scientists at all levels advance their careers more quickly and confidently.
