<p>I help companies unleash the statistical capabilities of Python and R to conduct effective business analysis - offering both training and consultation services.</p>
<p>With a background in economics and statistics, I have devised numerous training courses in Python and R for major educational outlets, including O'Reilly Media and Manning Publications. I have also delivered various training seminars at major data conferences, including Big Data Europe and ML Conference Munich.</p>
<p>As both a data science consultant and financial writer, I have implemented statistical solutions in Python and R to help companies solve a range of business issues. This has included the use of regression analysis to allow a company to identify optimal levels of marketing spend while maximising revenue, as well as creating reactive, web-based visualization dashboards to analyse pricing and occupancy data of a major hotel chain to infer future growth patterns.</p>
