From a team who spent far too long cleaning messy data comes a cunning plan: to reinvent data science.

While the AI explosion has everyone hyped about data science skills, the truth is that most tools and workflows still feel stuck in the ‘90s. Plus, let’s be honest, there’s a huge gap in practical data science education. “You’re a STEM grad? Great, you can totally do data science!” said no one ever with real experience.

Evil Works is built by data science veterans who’ve learned the hard way: solving real-world problems with frustrating, outdated tools. That pain sparked our mission: to redesign the Data Scientist eXperience (DSX) through smart education and better tooling.

If you want practical insights, real-world tips, and a no-nonsense look at how data science really works today then welcome to the channel.

Are you at Web Summit?

are you struggling with slow root cause analysis or spending too much time developing and iterating on models?

Come and meet the team!

We're at booth A3-15 until 5pm today, and will be around the summit until Thursday.

We're showcasing PUFF, our platform built to make development smarter, faster and more secure. PUFF helps prevent code injection and data leaks, protects sensitive information and uses incremental computing to reduce unnecessary processing and wasted iteration cycles.

Wanting to spend less time waiting around and more time building?

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, come say hello, We'd love to show you what we're working on and have a chat.

Google Trends Data, or any normalised data for that matter, can be a real pain to work with. Thankfully, painful problems make good content, as our co-founder Leigh discovered when she turned a failed YouTube video idea into a talk on working with difficult data, the transferability of data science and the number one data science skill you need to develop.

You can watch her full presentation at the Data Science Festival here: https://youtu.be/FNBfxGUazEw?si=pMhH6...


Or for a deeper dive, you can find our playlist on working with normalised data here:

Evil Work’s PUFF Platform is Now Live!

We’re doing it! We’re launching!

We’re officially opening the evil doors and giving users first access to the PUFF platform through our closed beta. PUFF is a new kind of notebook experience built for real data work, featuring autorun + incremental computing (so unchanged code never reruns), built-in unit typing for safer calculations, and a big data viewer designed to explore massive datasets directly in the UI.

It’s still very much a work in progress, and we’d love your feedback on what’s missing, what breaks, and what you’d want us to build next. Try it here: portal.evilworks.com/ | Docs: docs.evilworks.com/

Leigh was so excited to share her Christmas Pikachu she'd bought for a Christmas video she didn't even realise she's a walking Pokemon ad already 😂
