Python, Data and Deep Work – My 2024 Year Review
Another year has passed since my last blog post, so it's time to review what happened in 2024. It has been five years since I switched from simulation engineering to coding and more than a year since my latest blog post. Main language: Python I have been...
How I learned basic web development and generative AI in 2023
In 2023, I focused on Python, Apache Spark, and SQL, which are fundamental or the “bread and butter” in data-related work. There are still a couple of incomplete chapters of an old, complete Python course. That content teaches you to solve problems in a more elegant,...
Progress report from 2020/Q3 to 2022/Q4
It has been a long time since my last blog post (~ 900 days). And around 1000 days since I started my coding career on 1st February 2020. So it is worth evaluating the progress after such a long transition. Most relevant programming languages within the...
Overview of progress in 2019 and a new chapter in 2020
It is time to take a few steps back and do a review of 2019. Of course, I don't intend always to write only progress reports, but 2019 was a busy, challenging year. So I promise that my next post will be more technical, code- or Mathematics-related. Refinement...
Should You Become a Python Developer before Getting into Machine Learning?
Introduction Let assume that you decided to work on becoming an engineer or scientist in Machine Learning. Great! You are already over the analysis paralysis, whether you should pick Python or R for this purpose, and you chose Python wisely. Well done! You have been...
How to Become a Machine Learning Engineer
After seven years of work as a CFD simulation engineer with a mechanical engineering background, I realised that I reached a point in my career when I needed to learn something entirely new. So, after a one-year learning phase of programming, first in Java then...
ABOUT ME
A self-taught data engineer, interested in Machine Learning, Python, and self-development
Hi, I’m Jozsef.
I’m a data engineer who transitioned into software development after starting as a CFD simulation engineer.
I taught myself Python and built my career in data engineering alongside a full-time job — a bumpy but rewarding journey that taught me persistence and adaptability.
Beyond coding, I’m passionate about AI, machine learning, self-development, and exploring how structure and curiosity can fuel meaningful progress.
