Dirty Data Dojo: Cleaning Data (Excel & Python)

Learn how to clean your dirty data in minutes, not months in the Dirty Data Dojo – a data cleaning course in Excel and Python for beginners.

#getfedihired my entire team was let go and now I have two excellent engineers available for hire in London. They are both very dependable, learn fast, and can work fully remote.

Our team developed and ran a metrics calculation engine for a major corporation.

I highly recommend both. Let me know if you are interested.

How Circular Deals Are Driving the AI Boom

The AI industry is being powered by a complex web of "Circular Deals"—where tech giants invest in startups that then use that money to buy cloud credits from those same giants. We investigate whether this is a sustainable growth engine for the 2026 economy or a "shell game" that is artificially inflating the value of the AI sector.
