Trends in International Migrant Stock

This project was my first step into the powerful world of EDA, and was a guided project as part of my Master’s program. My task was to clean the provided UN Dataset consistent with TIDY standards, established as best practice throughout the Data Science industry, then identify and visualize trends in the dataset. This was not hypothesis-driven - we were given a dataset and a clean slate to do whatever we thought was interesting.

This was also my first ever Python project, and we were expected to use the language without having been taught any fundamentals ahead of it. Quite a trial by fire, but I think I came out alright. The code is messy and the writeup could have been fleshed out a whole lot more, but it was exhilarating to work on and incredibly satisfying to see the clean data and visualizations once I was done with them. I’ve worked on a few Python projects since, and while it’s definitely not my thing at a full-time capacity (aka it drives me nuts), I’m hoping to acutely continue my EDA journey throughout my career.
