Exploring the less technical side of an ever growing technical field — Consider any job posting you’ve read for a position in the data science field, like a data scientist or machine learning engineer. The things you’ll likely see include a list of technical requirements, including knowing a specific programming language, having experience with statistical modeling methods, and more. Of course, that…

How to look at humility as a benefit rather than a curse — Truth wins out in the end. Keep this in mind as jump into this post here. If you take any modern leadership course or even something like the scrum master designation, you’ll most likely be exposed to this idea called servant leadership. Now, I’ll be totally honest: that’s a poorly…

Thoughts after one week with Valve’s latest piece of hardware — Hello there friends! I know, I know… I’ve been absent from writing blog posts about machine learning recently. This happens every once in a while, particularly when great new video games come out, and boy, are we off to a great start in 2022 with excellent titles like Pokemon Legends…

Trying out five binary classification and regression algorithms to support our movie rating model project — Hello friends! Yes, we are back for a second day in a row with a new entry in our movie rating model series. As I stated in yesterday’s post, I’m still playing catch up in blog form from what I have been doing as a YouTube livestream series to date…

Working through the tactics I applied for performing feature engineering on our raw dataset — Hello there friends! We’re returning to our movie rating model project to perform some feature engineering on the data we gathered. In case you missed the first post, you can catch up at this link. …

Thoughts from a professional machine learning engineer who has seen it all! — After working several years as a machine learning engineer, I feel like I’ve seen pretty much everything you can see when it comes to coding. Though we have standards like Python’s PEP-8, most people (including myself, if I’m being honest) don’t follow those standards. …

Helping you to avoid things like overfitting when working with a smaller dataset — Hello there friends! Over a year ago, I started a series on shorter posts that I call Data Science Quick Tips. It’s been a while since I’ve done one, and this one is especially relevant for another series I’m doing to create a predictive model around movie ratings. To recap…
