My latest book, “Software Engineering for Data Scientists”, was published by @oreilly.bsky.social in April this year. It’s a guide for data scientists looking to improve their coding skills, and it’s deliberately friendly. You can buy a copy here: www.amazon.com/Software-Eng...
I really enjoyed this! Thank you @mkennedy.codes for inviting me on the show.
Our conversation included refactoring notebooks, testing notebook-derived code, and changing your mindset when you're moving to production code.
There's also a book giveaway - see the show notes to enter!

#PyConUS is my favorite conference. It's such a positive community. I really enjoyed meeting so many people at my talk and afterwards signing books.
Thank you to @anvil.works for hosting my book signing and to @oreilly.bsky.social for providing copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists"!

I'm heading to #PyConUS! I'm excited to present a talk on best practices for moving from Jupyter notebooks to Python scripts that scale.
And thanks to the awesome folks at @oreilly.bsky.social I have 10 copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists" to give out. I'll share details at my talk.

Hello Bluesky! A quick introduction/reintroduction and update from me. I’ve been in data science for a while but now I’m exploring the space between data science and software engineering. I’m a Pythonista, author and public speaker.
