I am based in Miami and finishing a bootcamp in Data Science. I am looking for partners in Florida to work on a collaborative Capstone project involving Machine Learning. My goal is to build something impressive before I drop your resume for data analyst or junior scientist roles. Does anyone want to collaborate on a Python-based project focusing on predictive analytics or data visualization?

Building a collaborative project is one of the smartest ways to stand out in the Florida tech market. When you drop your resume, having a link to a live dashboard or a published notebook that shows teamwork is a huge plus. Recruiters love to see that you can use Git for version control and that you can communicate technical findings to non-technical stakeholders. In late 2023, there has been a significant shift toward "full-stack" data science, so if you can incorporate some SQL and data engineering into your project, you will be much more competitive in the hiring process.
I am in Orlando and I have some experience with Tableau; would you want to incorporate some advanced visualization into the project to make the data pop?
I’m interested! I’ve been working on a project involving real estate data in South Florida and could use a partner to help with the cleaning and modeling.
Gary, real estate data is a great choice for a Florida-based project. It’s relevant and there are plenty of interesting variables to analyze for our portfolio.
Ryan, that would be fantastic. Combining Python for the backend analysis with a polished Tableau dashboard for the frontend would create a very professional-looking project. It shows a complete end-to-end understanding of the data pipeline. This kind of work is exactly what hiring managers want to see when you drop your resume. Let's touch base this weekend to discuss what dataset we should use for our predictive model.
