Good data science is rarely glamorous. It's rigorous problem-solving, delivered on time, with results that hold up in production.
We've worked with WHO/Europe, Public Health Scotland, and Hertfordshire County Council — from automating vaccine monitoring to open-source migration to scalable analytics infrastructure.

The next #PyData #Helsinki #meetup is on 19 March 2026 at Elisa, Ratavartijankatu 5.
On the menu: optimisation problems in electricity markets, a deep dive into #DeltaLake read performance without a cluster, two lightning talks, and an intro to Data & AI at our sponsor Elisa.
And of course our already traditional quiz, where the main challenge is understanding how answers are scored.

Saturday Data Dive: Mapping Calgary’s Thermal Fingerprint 🛰️📊
Spent some quality time with GEE, R and Landsat-8/9 data today.
I’ve just finished processing a Median Land Surface Temperature (LST) model for Calgary, covering the entire Summer of 2025. This isn't just a single-day snapshot—it’s a robust composite of many satellite scenes, filtered to show the true intra-urban thermal zones.
Quick Takeaways:
🔹 Surface temperature in some busines area and "heat traps" peaked at over 51.3°C.
🔹 The contrast between our "Cool Islands" and "Extreme Heat Zones" is striking.
🔹 This automated workflow in R allows for a granular look at urban climate resilience that standard reports often miss.
I’m currently finalizing a full breakdown and a community-by-community analysis.
Stay tuned—the detailed article is coming soon!

📊 Dashboards in Databricks - Metric Views for Consistent Business KPIs
We've just published a new blog post about native BI and dashboarding capabilities in Databricks.
Databricks is only for coders? This no longer holds true. And Metric Views allow for consistent business logic defined across the entire analytics ecosystem.

Calgary experienced a very wet and rainy summer in 2025. Naturally, the city’s vegetation responded vigorously to the high moisture levels, showing lush growth compared to the scorching summer of 2024. 🌿
Among residential areas, tiny Roxboro showed the most significant "greening"! Meanwhile, the lowest "recovery" rates were observed in the city's newest communities.
