I've been in your shoes as a data professional figuring out how to grow. After more than eight years in data science, the last year marked a clear shift: the market was changing fast, I felt some stagnation, and staying relevant became a real concern. Over the past year, I took that seriously and went deep into integrating AI into my day-to-day data science work. Building and applying these systems is what removed that uncertainty for me, and it's what I'll share in this bootcamp.
Rather than using AI as a separate tool, I integrated it into my data science workflows. I automated and structured key parts of my analysis process (data cleaning, EDA, repetitive tasks), then built a talk-to-your-data Slackbot that uses agentic patterns to help technical stakeholders explore data in natural language. I also built Applio, an LLM-powered system that analyzes resumes and job descriptions and produces structured, actionable feedback, applying the same principles around context design, reliability, and control.
More recently, I presented at DataFest on agentic analytics and data adoption, focusing on how data scientists move beyond demos into systems teams actually use.
