I help ANY professional or team have more impact using data. Analytics demystified.

👉 WHAT I DO: I help teams and organizations develop and apply real-world machine learning forecasting skills using Python and Python in Excel.

⚙️ WHO I HELP: Every type of organization will benefit from better forecasts, including (but not limited to):

🏛️ Financial Services
🏥 Healthcare
👩‍🎓 Education
📺 Marketing
📊 Finance
💻 IT 

💰 WHY IT WORKS: In modern organizations, many external factors impact forecasts. These factors include holidays, promotions, capital investments, weather, and global economics.

Machine learning forecasting models can incorporate these external factors to produce more powerful forecasts than can be achieved via commonly used techniques (e.g., Excel's FORECAST.ETS() function).

✅ HOW I DO IT: I work under two operating models depending on your business needs:

"Done with You" - This is a coaching model where I train your team/organization and then help them successfully apply what they've learned.

"Done For You" - This is a consulting model where I do the work on your behalf.

Regardless of the mode, I focus on the nature of your business problem first and foremost. 

Before I write any code or train your team, I partner with you to develop an understanding of your business. With this baseline knowledge, I then bring my 14+ years of analytics and data science experience to the engagement. 

I can use Python in Excel or Jupyter Notebooks - whichever works best for your situation.

Woohoo! My book has received its first Amazon review. I had one goal for writing Python in Excel Step-by-Step. This goal might seem crazy to some:

To teach ANY professional the Python foundation they need for analytics and the AI-powered future of Microsoft Excel.

I packed the book with many examples of how everyday Excel knowledge translates to Python. The goal was to make learning Python easy and fun for Excel users.

**BUT**

As an author, you never know if your efforts were on target until the book gets into the hands of real people.

As you might imagine, getting this review early in the book's release gives me hope that the book will help many professionals learn the Python foundation they need to:

Unleash the power of their data with analytics.
Partner deeply with the Copilot in Excel AI.

2026 is off to a tremendous start.

Stay healthy and happy data sleuthing!

Exemplul perfect care arată cum societatea românească face cu boltă pe principiile protecției datelor (AKA minimizarea datelor)
 
Subsemnat(a/ul) ..............................., domiciliat(ă) la adresa ................................... , localitatea …………………………., județul ……………………….., țara ……………………..,
născut(ă) în localitatea ………………., județul …………….., în data de ……………., 
identificat cu act de identitate (CI/BI/ Pasaport) seria ….…, numărul……………..., eliberat de către……………….., la data de………..,  valabil până la ……………………, CNP …………………………
vă rog să….
 
Data ....................                                     Nume, prenume ...............................
                                                              Semnătura ..........................................
 
Sunt cel puțin 3 forme diferite de identificare (4 când se face o copie a actului de identitate), fiecare fiind absolut suficiente (conform unor legi specifice în diverse domenii, nu doar a bunului simț), pentru identificarea unei persoane, unele conținând ele însele informații redundante/ irelevante.
(la care se mai cere uneori și o copie a actului de identitate... la fiecare interacțiune, evident).

Nu mai zic că nu rareori se cere completarea manuală a informațiilor, chiar dacă datele există în sistemul IT intern al organizației.

În cazul unei bănci a fost chiar și mai tare: s-a cerut numărul de abonat al clientului (pe baza căruia poate fi identificat orice client), plus validarea unui card al băncii, dar cererea tot trebuia să conțină acele informații.

Mai mult decât asta, la puțin timp mi s-a comunicat că trebuie să-mi actualizez datele personale (îmi schimbasem cartea de identitate). Evident că cele completate de către mine în cerere nu au fost preluate în sistemul intern.... că nu am cerut, deși operatorul le-a introdus minuțios într-o aplicație, că doar nu puteau rîmâne doar pe hârtie... iar actualizarea necesita (evident) prezența mea fizică.
 
BTW, nu e aplicabil doar la stat, poate chiar dimpotrivă, unele instituții chiar limitându-se la a cere mai puține informații, ci și la societăți comerciale, inclusiv (sau mai ales) mari firme multinaționale.

No, trăiască GDPR-ul și ”experții” care-i consiliază pe aceștia (pe bani buni de obicei) 😁 
BTW, nu dați în DPO, că pe el(ea) nu îl(o) întrebă nimeni dacă e corect 😇

My strengths as a consultant... and why these matter>

Leaving modesty aside, I should also highlight my (perceived) strengths, so here they are, in a random order. BTW, some of them were also presented as weaknesses, but I see no contradiction - a weakness for some could be a strength for others.

I’m not a lawyer … nor just an engineer. Background is not all, learning and experiences matter more. It matters because I invested 1000+ hours to read laws, authorities' recommendations, court cases, and articles on the topics I was interested in;

Worked 30+ years to implement real processes (and tools) in different domains, being in operation long after I left the projects. It matters only if you want to implement changes in your operational processes;

I don’t rely on „relevant” certifications… just on experiences and continuous learning. I don’t pretend to be an expert, just a curious and passionate professional. It matters because I can say “I don’t know” and finding the right answer/ people who know;

Strongly disliking bullshit, so I’ll never use it. No moral compromises. Mutual trust is a pre-requisite, but is has to be gained. I’m sure you don’t need a reason why it matters;

100% independence, but not objective. My open opinions come from experience/ learning, not interests. It matters because I will actually be looking at your interest only;

I’ll always tell you what I believe you need to hear, not what you want to hear. It can be unpleasant sometimes, but also useful;
I hate Compliance… except when it’s the result of good Governance. It will take longer, but also last longer;

I don’t consider experience as a matter of years, but a matter of projects – accomplishments and failures. Past experience can find a good use in your specific case;

I’m a very curious guy and motivated to learn continuously. At least I’ll try to understand your problems and we can learn together;

I was lucky to build a network of professionals from many domains, backgrounds and cultures. When I don’t know something, I can always read, discuss and ask.

As for my weaknesses (which can be found in the first comment), the list is open 😁. Any feedback will be highly appreciated, especially constructive feedback. 

Thank you,
