I’m a B2B Marketing Professional with 20+ years of experience, now transitioning into an AI Developer & Marketing Automation Specialist.
My focus is on combining Python, data analysis, and AI APIs to build practical, scalable systems for modern marketing and business workflows.
I’ve completed a full rebuild of my Python fundamentals and am now focused on using Python as a practical tool for working with data, APIs, and AI systems.
Current focus areas:
- 📊 Data analysis & transformation with Python
- 🐍 Writing real scripts in VS Code (not just notebooks)
- 🌐 Treating APIs as structured data sources
- 🤖 Preparing for applied AI & automation workflows
A hands-on reimplementation of Dr. Charles Severance’s Programming for Everybody and Python Data Structures courses, completed entirely in VS Code with Git.
This project demonstrates:
- File parsing and data extraction
- Lists, dictionaries, and tuples
- Histogram patterns and maximum loops
- Sorting and summarising real datasets
- Debugging and reasoning about control flow
This repository marks the completion of Phase 1: Python Foundations and serves as the base for more applied data and AI work.
- HarvardX: Introduction to Data Science with Python (edX)
- Applied Python for data analysis and reporting
- Preparing data pipelines for API and AI integration
All coursework is reinforced by re-implementing examples locally in VS Code.
- Languages: Python (strong foundations), JavaScript (basic)
- Data & APIs: CSV, JSON, REST APIs
- AI & Automation (upcoming): OpenAI API, LangChain, Zapier, Make.com
- Frameworks: Streamlit, Flask
- Tools: VS Code, Git, GitHub, Google Colab, Excel
- 🔹 Build a portfolio of data-driven Python & AI projects
- 🔹 Develop practical AI-powered tools for marketing and operations
- 🔹 Transition into remote AI / automation roles (£60k–£90k+)
- 🔹 Launch a focused freelance consultancy for AI-driven marketing systems

⭐ Fun Fact: I’m building this transition deliberately — balancing career, family, and deep learning — with a focus on understanding systems, not just using tools.
