MY DATA JOURNEY

 MY DATA JOURNEY

In the course of my transiting into the data field, it was really a tough decision regarding where to start, who to listen/follow, communities to join, leaders/mentors, and the likes.

The more I delved into the field doing my research, the more fascinated I became by the enormous opportunities and aspects we have in the data field, talking about machine learning, AI, deep learning, Cloud, etc. I began looking into various aspects and decided to jump straight into data science...I mean...why not...LOL😄. That became like going down the rabbit hole because there was just too much information, resources, courses, etc to familiarize myself with to get started, I became somehow stuck because it felt like I was running in circles  😓😔😖.

I had to a step backward, to realize that even though I come from a STEM background, and I have experience with data analysis which involves data extraction from a company database, cleaning the data analysis, and finally making a presentation to my colleagues and bosses, I would really need to learn the rudiments of Data Analysis properly before diving into other field.

As a girl with big dreams and aspirations, I know having the determination and putting in the work will definitely get me to where I am Insha Allah, despite the hurdles and challenges faced.

If you are a newbie who is still trying to find his/her footing, please take it one day at a time, I promise it will start falling in place sooner than expected. Just keep up the momentum. Better days ahead Insha Allah.👍🙏

Bye for now, as I work on my very first Data Analytic project EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS, in which I analyze the Covid_19 cases and Vaccination in Nigeria.💪💃😊

EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF COVID_19 CASES AND VACCINATION IN NIGERIA

Image
 Introduction: This is a project on the Covid_19 cases and Vaccination as at April 24th, 2022 among the 36 States in Nigeria including the FCT.  Data was pulled out from the NCDC website for the project. Data was clean enough except for some columns which were cleaned out that didn't serve the purpose such as clinics, testing centers, etc.  All reports from labs across the states are sent to NCDC for computation and publishing Columns and rows with null values were cleaned while there were no duplicate values in the cell. The columns were formatted from text to numbers so python will be able to read the columns with figures as strings instead of objects. Computation cannot be carried out on columns with object data type Analysis and visualization were carried out using python libraries such as pandas, matplotlib, Plotly, and seaborn. Python was chosen for the analysis due to the structure of the data, which has a large number of columns, computations and analysi...

Life Expectancy for both sexes(years) 3. Life Expectancy at birth female (years) 4. Life Expectancy at birth for males (years) 5. Maternal Mortality ratio (deaths per 100,000 population) 6. Population annual rate of increase(percent) 7. Total fertility rate (children per woman ) It also displays a time series from 2010 to 2022 at a five-year interval. The various charts on the dashboard were created to interact with each other by the use of the slicers DATA  The data was sourced from data.un.org.  Columns with information not usefu...

 TABLEAU FUNDAMENTALS....DATACAMP Learning a BI tool is of great importance for anybody pursuing a career in Data Analysis, Business Intelligence, and Business Analysis. While there are countless BI tools, one might be stuck in between learning as many as possible. It is important, however, to know the basic of the widely used BI tool such as Tableau, Power bi, IBM Cognos, Qlik, Alteryx, etc. I believe however that it would be beneficial for one to master one of the above-mentioned. I started out using Power Bi, Alteryx, and Tableau but decided to stick to Tableau. The reason is that I found Tableau the most challenging and I feel if I can master it, the rest would be a bit easy to master.  Thanks to Datacamp and Youtube I took courses and tutorials to sharpen my knowledge and bridge the GAP between what I already and how to use up do date Tableau Built-in Functions. From courses such as  1. Introduction to Tableau 2. Analyzing Data in Tableau 3. Creating Dashboards in Ta...
