Hey guys,
I just built a way to create your online data portfolio in less than 5 min. ⏱️
It's on d8a.academy, a website that help aspiring data analyst practice their skills and find a job.
And here is a demo⬇️:
#buildinpublic #data #dataanalysis #dashboard
I just added a new feature on d8a.academy 🎉
- Users can now upload their resume and get it review by senior data analysts 🔎
It is available on the user dashboard and will help you get a good CV for job hunting.

Introducing d8a.academy
The best project roadmap to help you in you data analyst journey
Built with a community of 600 Data learners
#data #roadmap #jobs #career #community
stop applying to jobs
start building
your portfolio is literally everything
check out d8a.academy if you want
ok bye
its basically:
real data projects (not fake tutorial shit)
i review your work personally
you learn by actually doing
this is how i learned and its the only way that works
problem is most ppl dont know what projects to build
or how to build a good portfolio
so i made d8a.academy
so the play is:
build projects (show dont tell)
get interviews from portfolio
skip full time jobs
go freelance
charge what youre worth
freelance = you charge per day
started at €400/day (~$420)
thats like €8k/month if you work 20 days
way more than any junior job
now im at $750/day
then when i got offers
everyone wanted to give me a full time junior role
€40k/year or whatever
i said no
went freelance immediately
the thing is
companies dont actually care about your resume or degree that much
they care if you can do the job
so i just showed them i could already do it
easy
i just built a bunch of projects
like actual data projects
put them online
companies saw them and were like "ok this kid can actually do the work"
got interviews
ok so
most junior data analysts in europe make like €40-45k/year
thats $3,500/month ish
i was making €8,500/month at 20
now i make $750/day freelancing
how? A thread

#data #Blackfriday
90% of data analyst roadmaps are broken.
They force linear progression.
Assume everyone starts from zero. Waste your time on skills you already have.
We fixed it with 6 independent paths.
Full breakdown: d8a.academy/what-is-a-go...
#data #roadmap #skill #dataanalysis
42 School proved peer-to-peer, project-based learning works for coding.
We applied the same philosophy to data analytics.
-No tutorials.
-No hand-holding.
Just real projects and a community that helps you figure it out.
Here's how it works: d8a.academy/what-is-a-go...
#data #buildinpublic
Shoutout to the person who gave that feedback.
We created the app with the community, now we are impoving it with them.

This change took a week to implement.
Worth it? Absolutely.
One piece of honest feedback > 100 assumptions about what users need.
Community-driven development isn't just a buzzword. It's how you build something people actually want. (5/6)
Now if you already know Python but need SQL for interviews? -> Jump straight into SQL projects.
Want to focus only on dashboarding? -> Go for it.
Need everything? -> Learn it all.
The platform adapts to YOU, not the other way around. (4/6)
Scrapped the linear progression. Designed 6 independent paths:
- Analytics
- Python
- R
- SQL
- ETL
- Dashboarding
Pick what you need. Skip what you don't. (3/6)
The old skill tree was linear.
Everyone learned the same things in the same order. Made sense for complete beginners.
Made zero sense for people with existing skills. We were forcing experienced folks to redo what they already knew. (2/6)
Last week on D8A community, someone told me:
"I already know Python and R.
Why do I have to go through those projects to access SQL?"
Valid point. 🤔
Here's what happened next... (1/6) #buildinpublic #data
This isn't "I built a platform."
This is "550 people told me what was broken, and we fixed it together."
If you're trying to become a data analyst and facing these 4 problems -> we built this for you.
Because we've been there too.
d8a.academy
9 months of:
Reading every message
Testing with the community
Iterating based on feedback
Building in public
Today, the platform we designed goes live.
Here's what I learned building this:
The best products don't come from "visionary founders."
They come from listening to real people with real problems and building exactly what they ask for.
✅ Monthly Mentoring - 1-on-1 sessions with me (9 years in data). Interview prep, career guidance, or "I'm stuck on this query."
✅ Community - 550+ people learning together. Ask questions. Share wins. Never feel alone.
Every feature = a problem they told me about.
The solution we built:
✅ Skill Tree - Clear path from day 1 to job-ready. No more "what's next?"
✅ Real Projects - Build actual portfolios with messy data and business problems. Show employers what you can do.
So we built the solution together.
Not what I thought they needed. What they told me they needed.
550+ people shaped every feature through their feedback, questions, and struggles.
