Data Analysts,Assemble!! Unsure of where to find datasets that can aid in honing your critical thinking and strategic abilities?Here are some websites featuring current and past challenges/hackathons, offering datasets to improve your visualization & other analytical competencies
Dedicated the last 2 months to learn Data Analytics to improve my Machine Learning skills. Got myself a part time remote role on the same. 4 more months to go, let's see what the future holds.
6 months of focus and hard work can put you 5 years ahead in life.
Don’t underestimate the power of consistency, desire and passion.

If you're considering a career in Data Science &Engineering, Machine Learning and Python, you should consider writing articles for projects you've handled or information you would like to share about these fields. Here's a list of platforms that pay from $100-$600 for your work.
How am I supposed to make girl friends when every female friendship has its own group! Like mbona mko hivyo guys! Welcome me in, I'm fun, and I know cool & cheap gikomba places. Gifting is my love language! Should've listened to my mum when she said to go outside and play😭😭😭
I'm getting myself a remote job soon!
I need to make sure I work in tech but I also spread the word about Data! That's just it! That's all I want! And I'm gonna get it!
So I stumbled into this awesome place for data nerds, called The Forage
It offers students free online internships in fields related to data. I thought it was a pretty unique start to develop skills because the evaluation is project-based.
Mungu anakubariki na remote work lakini
@KenyaPower_Care
wanamake sure you will never work at home with daily blackouts 😂😭! Mnirecommend to solar panel energy or I buy those Nigerian generators because hee! Ata watu wa ofisi watafikiria kwetu sisi ni maskini! Nimechoka mie!!
Tabula is a python module which can read tables in a PDF and convert them into a pandas DataFrame. It also enables you to convert a PDF file into a CSV, a TSV or a JSON file. I used tabula to convert my Mpesa Statement into an excel sheet for analysis.
I once did a SQL interview here in Nairobi, where they made us write queries on paper, I failed😂, of course, syntax errors but that really changed the perspective for me..
Guys I discovered python pivot Tables, (one time for the people in the back) python pivot tables!! And yes I'm having fun with it, here's the code.....
This has been a successful week personally. 40hrs + with a successful product at the end. Working with Java is turning out to be better than I anticipated
#100DaysOfCode
So this guys DataTalksClub, have a page on GitHub, , with free bootcamps for ML Engineers, Data Engineers etc. with recordings to classes and class article content,
for those wishing to get started.
Guys I'd like to host a Twitter space for Data nerds next Saturday. I'm looking for speakers who work in the Data Field, who'd likely offer us guidance!
Share your topic ideas on the comments...
My main concern, "How to turn ML Models to consumer products"
I deployed the object detection model on some videos with both zebras and impalas and.... From this perspective I think I'm going to have to go back to the kitchen and work with more data and perfect the model.

I woke up and thought, let's do a thread of your favorite books. The Daily Stoic accompanied with Almanack of Naval Ravikant which btw contains tweets from Naval Ravikant, are mine.
Here is a code to scrap Twitter search queries using Python, Selenium and chromedriver. At the moment I can only return the latest tweet, I'm trying to learn how to scroll through twitter pages oh and saving the scrapped data to csv/ json files

I'd love to know what it's like to work as a Data Scientist in the Formula One industry. Like that one thing we all want to experience. I'd like to know what it takes to run the cars even if it's in simulation. Otherwise 😂😂 AI in Blockchain seems real cool 😅
Officially done with the 6 month rule
@HarunMbaabu
, I feel for me I was lucky to start the year with mentorship from
@AdiePrestone
on deployment and blessed enough to work with the former. Giving my graces to these two because hee, I didn't picture my year being this good
Quick update to the previously asked question, "What is the average salary for a technical writer in Data Science", I was able to scrap all the data on paid technical writing gigs! Currently working on data cleaning and finally finishing up with a visual...
My recently asked question was👇👇 and I felt wrong for giving a speculation as an answer, so I decided to tackle it as a problem. Got till Friday to give an answer!
Ending my November in style, I'm super honored to be appointed as a

Translation, "Come see that I can do more than photoshop"
Just kidding though😀let's go through some machine learning basics together.
I am so honored to be featured by

Nothing prepares you for the math that calculates where to live in Nairobi that's also convenient for your commute to work but also safe, has proximity to the markets and roads and reliable internet. Na bado ni affordable😭😖.
I can't drive cause I worry about my anxiety and clumsiness killing me.
I can't swim,
I can't ride a bike
I can't wiggle wiggle
I can't do the hullahoop
I can't even pull up a somersault
But I can code! I can write well documented and structured code!
I created a GUI stimulator of a dice roller with Python. My main aim is to try and build the Ludo game with Python, so I started learning Tkinter to accomplish this mission. Here's a snapshot of my work so far,

It's been hectic times for us data nerds, here
@dsaic_dekut
we've had an interesting year. Now it's time to close our laptops, put down our tools and go out to wander🚶🏽♀️
Recently started public speaking in data and one of the recent talks I gave was on My Challenges As A Junior In The Field Of Data Science. Crazy questions from the audience but here's a few of the things I shared about.
I'm like $10 short a Udemy Analytics Engineering Bootcamp🥲🥲okay, I can like buy the course and go broke afterwards. Or I could just complain and ramble here.
I was listening to
@KenJee_DS
talk about treating job searches as a problem. So I scribbled down some thoughts all night and came up with a possible Data Science project. Here's the plan draft, feel free to share your opinions. maybe I should gather a team though(like a heist🌚)
Hey everyone! I wanna host a discussion on the power of mentorship in your first gig as a data scientist or machine learning engineer. Let's chat about how having a mentor can help you lead with confidence and learn from others' experiences. Who's in?
#MentorshipMatters
@kirinyetbrian
I think in this phase it's easier to settle for even the bare minimum jobs just to beat the fear of unemployment. And honestly the negative mentality that comes with it.
To simply put it, I love mystery and enigma! Sci-fi is my go to genre! And you know what else has mysteries in it? Data!! Cleaning data (as long as you are asking the right questions, your data will tell you everything you need to know) How then do you ask the right questions?
That phase where you prefer messy locs than when they're actually freshly retwisted.
That is the phase that welcomes you into freeform , I love that phase
Talking about Productivity, I started just like you, had a 365 day notebook for my tasks. At the start of the year I started working with Notion. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome the product is 😭😭!! This is one of my ongoing Data Analytics projects kwa Notion!👇🏽👇🏽
Almost all productivity hacks I have tried haven't worked for me but writing everything I want to accomplish that day in my diary and ticking them off one after the other has done wonders for me. The thing is I make sure that I don't sleep with unchecked tasks.

and I turned up for this interview, it was my first office job. Both of us got the job, we did good!
but many many months later, both of us quit on the same day!😅😂
I told
@shemaya_55
that I want to work on this controversial DS project but I'm scared cause I'm just starting my career and I don't want to make mistakes that will ruin it in the future. He gives me a link that leads me to this book😄 and life has been better🤝🏾

@WTM_Nyeri
, from 3 month calendar sessions to a successful event. There's a lot of logistics involved in event organizing and nothing helps out more than a good team by your side
So I sent this random tweet jana... cause well
Anyway, I got some cool responses and resources, I'm going to do a thread about it soon. Like this site with the F1 Data or this github repo on RedBull analytics
Ama I just do a thread

Visited an art gallery for the first time last night and, you know how I always spend half my salary on books😃, I'm about to start spending the other half of it on becoming an art collector!
No shit I almost bought an $2000 piece jana, shida ni I'd end-up bankrupt afterwards

My freelancing income was at a high this year, kila mwezi I've made extra income than the previous one. But yesterday, I woke up and client ameenda mitini with a good amount of $. I got home and cried 🥲 juu weeh, being my first time experiencing this.
I'm getting myself a remote job soon!
I need to make sure I work in tech but I also spread the word about Data! That's just it! That's all I want! And I'm gonna get it!
I participated in UmojaHackathon last week and got to learn a lot on ensemble learning and got to appreciate the boosting in ensemble learning. I also got to learn the difference of boosting and bagging, and circumstances when each should be used.

When I get to the point that I can 100% control my schedule, 70% of my time will be indulged in reading, just waking up to read on spirituality, stoicism, meditation. I'm gonna be content with the wealth I have as long as I have time to read!!
When I get f**k you money, I am either shaving off my dread locs to be a short haired woman, or I'm unleashing freeform dreadlocks ♥️. I know for a fact I can pull off both of these looks

This is the next topic for my "Rant about Tech" article!
I'm not criticising tech boot camps, but I also know how easy it is for one to fall prey on them. Ask around, I purchase tech courses like breakfast! I hope it turns out to be a great read😂😂😂
Computer vision challenge! I have 3 images, I'm giving out a t shirt to any machine learning engineer who can explain how I got here. Just provide a basic code snippet, I'm comfortable with python. You have till 1500hrs to get your tshirt!

In case it's the last time
That we might be exactly like we were

The count is almost at 200 books, and my mum asked me when my books are going to move out😅😂😂(she always thought it was a phase) anyways I guess it's time to buy another book shelf. Any recommendations? I need a big one this time!!
As a machine learning enthusiast I used to say to myself, "deep learning is where I draw the line." Now working on my final year project and my supervisor added all features that bring me in depth with deep learning😂😂. Dug my own grave wallahi‼️

🥳. A day of learning, problem-solving, and fun as we shape the future with data. Its a chance to compete, collaborate with other enthusiasts, and win prizes! Also to learn from the best in the game.
@HarunMbaabu
will be there, among others.
we don't appreciate how normal our body feels when we are healthy. Now I'm sick and drugged (from a pharmacy) kwa matatu trying to stay awake by calculating the mean beats per minute from my heart😭
Last month, I build almost 3 different ideas with Pinecone Vector DB and GPT 4 Embedding all for free! I try to walk my friends through it last night and everyone had to pay for each of these services! And that's when it hit me! Damn! I am living through the tech history
I'm finally ready to build my own portfolio website. Considering I'm an involved person I found it hard to settle on one design, so I went on a quest. I researched on a few data scientists portfolios and...
Here are the best websites I collected so far.
🧵....
Why are we still manually annotating images for object detection. I think I need a platform to upload my raw dataset 👩🏾💻and specify the dataset category ie, wild animals lion 🦁 or tropical species 🐠 and just have the dataset automatically annotated on my behalf.
Hear me out, Remember The Manhattan Project in TENET and the comparison to Oppenheimer, what if the Oppenheimer they talked about in Tenet is this Oppenheimer? You know like how Memento inspired Tenent and how we had past, present and future POV in both Tenet and Intestellar?
April has had me take a hit and it gets quite ugly when you start doubting your tech skills, it's pretty ugly!. Effects? I fumbled this awesome set of speakers who I was ready to host! I'm hating myself everyday for it.
The little small talk before the beginning of my technical and the interviewer pulls up that video of me in 2018 on YouTube from YSK😂😂. I've never felt more considered as an applicant to a job before. Cause they definitely did their assignment on me...
I know we said not to take this personally lakini kwani hamkufunzwa kukaa kwa matatu😭. This jamaa is bullying me na nimelipia kiti! I paid for this seat sir! Can you please move😭😭! Ama niamke nisimame mpaka home juu hakuna difference.
I just want to put all my friends in a car, buy some resources for 3 days and go back to Wajee Camp along Muranga road! Dive it their waterfalls again, watch the stars under the swings, sing and dance along next to a bonfire!! I hope you guys see this
