3 Months to 6 Figures: Land Your Dream Data Job

3 Months to 6 Figures is a private community for top data graduates that want to land their dream Data Analyst / Scientist job. Here’s how it works:

Phase 1: Niche Employers. We'll get clear on your personal brand positioning and niche for you to pick the industry with the highest earning potential for your passion. We're going to get you a list of 50 companies in that niche and clarity on how you're actually going to land that six-figure job that you actually enjoy.

Phase 2: Referrals. Next, we’re going to get you leads that turn into referrals for jobs. You’re going to experience genuine connections with employees at your dream companies so you understand "oh okay this works." It's going to give you the confidence to go forward. It’s also going to build up the portfolio proof that the people that are going to offer you your six-figure job will want to see.

Phase 3: Signed Dream Offer. And at this point, you're going to have had slam dunk interviews, a spec’d out dream salary, and selected the offer that you love the most. You’re going to have the freedom, job security, and recurring paychecks to live your life as you designed it.

I take on 5 Python-qualified data graduates that want their dream Data Analyst / Scientist job every month. Enrollment sent out to my network on the 1st of each month. Join the newsletter below to get notified.

 
 

My Data Science Master’s

The blog post that started it all.

In 2015, I dropped out of school to teach myself data science using online resources. I wrote about my curriculum and linked to my course reviews in the post below.

 
 

Data Maverick HQ: Learn 6-Figure Data Analytics Skills in 90 Days

Data Maverick HQ is a private community where you learn 6-figure data analytics skills in 90 days (without leaving your home or signing up for a degree). After you graduate, you can continue to meet with your new friends to continue building your dream data science skill set.

This program comes before my 3 Months to 6 Figures program above.

 
 

Articles I wrote for Coiled

I wrote these blog posts to help Coiled with their launch in 2020.

 
Coiled’s mission is to increase access to scalable computing via Python and Dask.

Courses I created for DataCamp

DataCamp courses combine short expert videos with immediate hands-on-keyboard exercises.

 

Introduction to Scala

Over the span of six months, I learned Scala and created this introductory course.

Introduction to Tableau

This course was a team effort. I created the fourth and final chapter.

 

Projects I created for DataCamp

DataCamp projects are where students apply the skills they learned in courses in real-world, end-to-end data analyses in Jupyter Notebooks.

A New Era of Data Analysis in Baseball

A Python project that uses pandas and seaborn.

Introduction to DataCamp Projects

A SQL project that uses ipython-sql, PostgreSQL, pandas, and SQLAlchemy.

Up and Down With the Kardashians

A Python project that uses pandas.

TV, Halftime Shows, and the Big Game

A Python project that uses pandas and matplotlib.


Content I created for Udacity

Udacity’s mission is to provide students with the tech skills needed to advance their careers.

Introduction to Data Wrangling

Data wrangling is the process of gathering, assessing, and cleaning data. In my course, students learn how to use Python to wrangle data programmatically and prepare it for analysis, visualization, and modeling.

Other Udacity courses I helped create are Practical Statistics, SQL for Data Analysis, Intro to Python, Data Visualization, and Exploratory Data Analysis.


Personal projects

Exploratory Data Analysis

Used R and apply exploratory data analysis techniques to explore freeCodeCamp's 2016 New Coder Survey dataset for distributions, outliers, and anomalies.

Free Code Camp Articles

Repurposed the content in my explanatory data analysis for a general audience. Three articles were published by Free Code Camp's Medium publication and received 1k+ recommends.


Hockey Analytics

I like hockey and the Toronto Maple Leafs so I wrote about them with a focus on advanced statistics. Python and Pandas are most often used for data wrangling, exploration, and analysis.


Class Central Articles

Class Central is the leader for online course information and reviews. I wrote commentary pieces and created the very first "Class Central Career Guide" with data science as its subject.


OpenStreetMap Data Case Study

Inspected and cleaned a 1.14 GB OpenStreetMap dataset using Python. Imported clean data into a normalized SQL database and used queries to learn more about my hometown.


Interactive NOTES

Built a Python back end using Google App Engine, Datastore, and Jinja2 templates to host a web page and allow user comments. Post a blank comment for a game-changing UI feature.


Rick or Stick?

A game where you answer the age-old question: Is this a person named Rick or is it a stick? Created using PHP, a MySQL database, and MVC architecture. YouTube video demo


FRESH TOMATOES

A simple movie/TV website with clickable trailers, this project demonstrates knowledge of Object Oriented Programming and the power of abstraction. Written in Python.
