Thanks for subscribing.

I put this landing page up relatively quickly as a placeholder for things to come.

You’ve probably come across me from X (Twitter?). Sometimes X isn’t the best place to provide long-form, in-depth content and guides. Hence, this is the place that allows me to really go deep on things.

I’ll be compiling datasets, methodologies, and approaches to launching data-science businesses that I wish I’d known about years ago.

Given that this is a new newsletter, if you want to get a flavour for some of the things I write about, check out some of my most popular posts on X:

  1. Why we soon won’t be able to use luminosity data to measure economic activity.

  2. A comprehensive list of all official sub-national GDP datasets

  3. How Meta uses Facebook data to predict asset-level wealth for households around the world.

  4. A list of geospatial resources/websites for non-coders.

  5. How we can use data on critical infrastructure to measure granular economic activity.

  6. The Segment Anything Model: the ChatGPT of geospatial data.

First post will be coming soon, so stay tuned by subscribing below.
