I’ve been teaching Python and related technologies professionally for over five years. Several of my courses are offered on a regular cadence in partnership with the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Business Analytics.

I also offer private trainings for organizations. Class sizes are typically about 15, and most courses run between 1 and 2 full days. For details, including rates, please contact me by email: [email protected]

Additionally, you can schedule ad hoc time with me. See the Office Hours page.

Building a Model Prediction Server

In predictive modeling, training a model is only half the battle; predictions typically need to be “served” to other systems in production via an API or similar interface. We’ll build that model server together.

Python Package Development

What makes a Python package and how you can build one yourself? We’ll answer those questions together as we develop our own small Python library.
