02What I work with now
Core skills
These are the five top skills on my LinkedIn profile. Each one shows the latest roles, projects or labs where I used it, with links, so you can check the work behind it.
In active use
I have used these 88 skills in a role, a project or a coursework lab in the last 18 months, since Apr 2025. The most recent come first, then the ones I used in more places. Each one shows where I last used it, and opens its row in the atlas. A year on its own means the record has no month, as with the coursework labs, which carry only the year I rebuilt them. Dates are as of 10 Oct 2026.

03Learning timeline
This is what I learned and used, year by year. Knowledge notes and explainers are left out because I wrote them later and they have no date of their own.
Each square is one dated item, up to 12 in a cell, and the number beside them is the full count.

07Where to go deeper
Thorough, first-principles explainers of the data science I studied at the University of Melbourne — and the topics I taught. Writing each one from scratch is how I keep the fundamentals sharp. Foundation first, then advanced; built one topic at a time.
