For much of my early career, I worked primarily in Python for data science, analysis, and engineering. While I don’t use it as much anymore, it’s a handy tool for quick prototyping and data projects, especially in AI, LLM, and machine learning projects. It’ll come up from time to time, and those projects will show up here.
