As analysts, we are usually monitoring metrics. Quite often, metrics change. And when they do, it’s our job to figure out what’s going on: why did the conversion rate suddenly drop, or what is driving consistent revenue growth? I started my journey in data analytics as a Kpi analyst. For almost three years, I’d been […]

Why you should read this As someone who did a Bachelors in Mathematics I was first introduced to L¹ and L² as a measure of Distance… now it seems to be a measure of error — where have we gone wrong? But jokes aside, there seems to be this misconception that L₁ and L₂ serve the same function — and

Knowledge Graphs are relevant A Knowledge Graph could be defined as a structured representation of information that connects concepts, entities, and their relationships in a way that mimics human understanding. It is often used to organise and integrate data from various sources, enabling machines to reason, infer, and retrieve relevant information more effectively. In a previous

The promise of AI agents has taken the world by storm. Agents can interact with the world around them, write articles (not this one though), take actions on your behalf, and generally make the difficult part of automating any task easy and approachable. Agents take aim at the most difficult parts of processes and churn

TL;DR A fast‑growing SaaS woke up to a silent auto‑scale from M20 → M60, adding 20 % to their cloud bill overnight. In a frantic 48‑hour sprint we: flattened N + 1 waterfalls with $lookup , tamed unbounded cursors with projection, limit() and TTL, split 16 MB “jumbo” docs into lean metadata + GridFS blobs,
Introduction In December 2024, I wrote an article sharing my experience using VSCode (GitHub Copilot) and Cursor (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) from the perspective of a Data Scientist. Should you switch from VSCode to Cursor? I concluded the article by stating: After using Cursor for the past two weeks, I have decided to use it for

I’ve had the pleasant opportunity recently to be involved with a program called Skype a Scientist, which pairs scientists of various types (biologists, botanists, engineers, computer scientists, etc) with classrooms of kids to talk about our work and answer their questions. I’m pretty familiar with discussing AI and machine learning with adult audiences, but this is

Introduction The Artificial Intelligence industry is moving fast. It is impressive and many times overwhelming. I have been studying, learning, and building my foundations in this area of Data Science because I believe that the future of Data Science is strongly correlated with the development of Generative AI. It was just the other day when

The programming language Rust is now appearing in many feeds as it offers a performant and secure way to write programs and places great emphasis on performance. If you come from the Python world of Pandas, Jupyter or Flask, you might think that Rust has a completely different focus than Python and is used more in backend development

Image generated using Midjourney The past years have been an absolute rollercoaster (or joyride) of rapidly evolving generative AI technologies. In the twenty-five years I’ve counted myself a software developer, I cannot recall a tectonic shift of a similar magnitude, one that is already fundamentally changing how software is being written. It would be shortsighted
