Hey, i’m Simon 👋
people kept saying “ask the data guy”—so here i am.
I’ve worked across the stack: Data scientist → Data engineer → Data analyst/Business analyst.
translation: Trying to make sense of that crazy data you always avoid
Why this channel
i couldn’t find many channels for our kinda people—practical, curious, no ego.
so… here goes the channel. a place to learn, swap notes, and grow together.
the only one i know is @neural_netss 🔥
What this is
a community for ai, data, and research enthusiasts. a chill corner for anyone who wants to learn.
we’ll focus on learning. small, clear lessons. shared notes. tiny projects we can finish. readable code. quick feedback. progress over polish.
What we’ll do
- quick explainers (plain english, real examples)
- build-in-public: notebooks, dashboards, pipelines
- tool showdowns (pros/cons, not hype)
- lightning q&as + office hours
- quiet drops: roles, collabs, founder-friendly pilots
Who can join
anybody who is interested in data+ai , data folks (all levels), ai/ml engineers, researchers, product/ops, students, and the data-curious.
ai founders + big-company leaders, pull up a chair to meet talent, swap notes, and spot opportunities early.
Low-key benefits
faster answers, vetted resources, honest feedback, early looks at gigs/collabs—and smart people who actually reply.
House vibe
curious > perfect • share what you know • no spam • respect each other and their craft
Drop a 👋 with where you’re based + what you’re building/learning next.
lurkers welcome—jump in when you’re ready.
Let’s make sense of this data🚀

I have been Organizing and coordinating events for the past 5 years, and here are a few points that will help you out if you are going to an event.
- Every Event has a target of people they are trying to reach out, make sure you are one them
(I.e don't go to a sales and Marketing event if you don't have any clue on any of them)
- Ask this question, what am I getting from this events, usually its one of these:
- For Networking
- Discovering new things
- to meet a potential Investor
- to Discover and learn more about a certain industry
- or maybe just for the food😏
At last make sure you are getting out of it💯
I see people coming to events year by year and they haven't changed a bit... I mean what's the problem?!
I see a lot of people joining Hackathons and building the same kinda thing... its not even Improved... come on🫤 🫣 🤔
I Don't think people are leveraging these things enough...

Hey y’all, it’s been a minute! 👋
I’ve been working hard these past few weeks, collecting and refining resources to build something I’ve always wished existed:
a clear, practical, and personalized roadmap for data professionals.
That is tailored to make us go from scratch to professional, and we will keep on advancing on it.
Here’s the truth:
Most “data Cources" out there stop at the basics.
They help you get started, but not grow.
That’s about to change.
This community is where we’ll learn together.
I won’t just lecture. We’ve got incredibly smart and experienced people here, and we’ll be inviting some of them to share their insights too.
Starting next week, we’ll begin walking through these resources step by step, in a way that’s easy to follow and apply, without drowning in the details.
If you’re a senior or seasoned data professional, I’d love for you to hang tight for a bit and jump in with your thoughts and advice as we go.
Your perspective will help everyone here level up faster.
Each day, we’ll break down one resource, learn from it, and discuss how to actually use it.
If you know someone who’s been struggling to find direction in their data career, invite them in.
Let’s build something meaningful together.
🔥 The journey starts next week. Let’s get to it.

One of the Questions I Asked for some of friends on Ivy League universities, is that for them share them me their resources, and they would be just send me the whole syllabus with course with video and materials, literally to join and learn for free with them.
I was shocked to know that most of the Courses they learn are literally free 😲
I couldn't believe it so I asked, what the heck are paying this much for then.... it was simple
For Laboratory to apply those and just Guidance. A lot of Networking too!!!
The only difference is they take it seriously. We just don't🤷♂️
