• June 6, 2021. I wrote a Medium post "Salary, Job Satisfaction, Trend of Data jobs", where I did some data analysis of the data jobs by using the Stack Overflow Data and built an XGBoost model to predict job satisfaction.

• December 30, 2020. I finished the Udemy online course "Deployment of Machine Learning Models". Check my certificate here. Overall, it's a good course that really paves one's Data Science path towards a more software-engineering-focused world. Testing (Pytest, Tox), CI/CD and deployment (Dcokers, Heroku, AWS ECS) have been introduced. How to write production code, write tests for your ML system, and how to deploy the ML models are great topics that are worth every ML/DS practitioner spending time.
