Data & AI

Data platforms, analytics, applied machine learning

Training that turns data teams into practitioners of applied machine learning and modern data platform engineering, grounded in real business decisions.

What the program covers

Modules cover data platform architecture, pipeline engineering, applied machine learning, and responsible AI deployment. Teams work with anonymized real-world datasets rather than toy examples.

Recent outcomes

  • A retail analytics team built a demand-forecasting model that is now in production.
  • A healthcare client's data team redesigned its pipeline architecture, cutting report latency from days to hours.
  • An internal team shipped a first responsible-AI governance checklist adopted company-wide.

Technologies covered

  • Python
  • Pandas
  • scikit-learn
  • PyTorch
  • Airflow
  • Spark
  • MLflow
