📬 The SDSL newsletter
💡 Data from the trenches.
🚀 From tech to leadership

📍My Goal
Simple.
To be the one resource you keep coming back to when faced with tough problems related to data and leadership.
I have built and led data teams from scratch, learning lessons the hard way. Now, I share them with you, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
👍 What you will get:
Leadership articles. I know what I takes to build and scale data science teams, from first hires to leading a discipline of more than 50 data scientists.
Master data storytelling. Follow my data visualisation learning path to craft insights that land with executives and drive real impact.
Real-world ML lessons. I share my experiences building MLOps, bidding systems, and recommender models. I also distill complex technical papers into simple language so that you don’t have to.
Career acceleration. Navigate promotions and the hidden rules of success. Understand what do tech companies look for when hiring for data science roles.
🚀 Who is this for?
Data scientists who want hands-on, no-nonsense insights and deep dives on niche topics.
Those looking to break into data science and grow their technical skills.
First-time data science managers navigating leadership for the first time.

🔓 Why is this newsletter free?
Because I believe in giving back.
My entire career has benefited from the generosity of the open source community. While I may not have the time to contribute code to my favourite APIs, I can share the lessons I have gathered over the years (although in this case, through writing).
That is why this newsletter is, and will remain, free to read.
Of course, I do plan to build premium offerings down the line (templates, mentorship, courses) but, the core insights, stories, and deep dives will always free.
