Hashmaps - Python

It has been a while that I wrote some code. Been learning Python using Udemy for some time. Python is truly expressive and batteries included language. I read about Hashmaps and thought I should give it a try. Within a very short duration (say 1 hour), I was kind of able to complete full hashmap implementation along with basic tests using PyTest.

Visualization in Python - Case Study: Urban Accidents in India

I was reading a news item related to accidents and wanted to explore more. With a bit of search, I landed in Govt of India Data website. The website had so much data and visualization in different industries/areas. With another double down, I managed to download the data for Urban accidents in all Indian states.

With a couple of hours of staring at the data and coding, managed to pull out the following charts. The data had absolute numbers for each state and I had come up with a ranking on the following KPIs (had to download population data from Wikipedia according to 2011 census report)

1. Number of urban accidents
2. Percentage of accidents with a weighted urban population

Feedback loop: Data -> Information -> Insights -> Business Transformation

Tools Used:

1. Python (no Numpy or anything else)
2. Matplotlib for visualization
3. Jupyter to cook Python code quickly

Source code and visualization can be found in my github repo

Questions:

1. Why GA has more accidents than TN? (why??)
2. Why HP has more accidents than PY? (terrain?)
3. What can be done to minimize accidents?

GeeksHub

As some of you know that I used to do the mentoring of students to improve their employability at a personal capacity. I thought I should give a formal structure to it as I continue to create impact. We are seeing career transformation and the time is just right.

I am merging my contributions in mentoring through GeeksHub, where I will be serving as an advisor. GeeksHub is an upskilling company primarily targeting entry and mid-level software engineer to improve their hard skills (coding, technology and related). You can find more about them here

I will continue to use this blog for technical/technology discussions and others related to technology. I will refrain posting general stuff related to life (but you never know)

More on GeeksHub in next post :-)

Attitude to Learn

A new thing resets competency and level sets the competition. People sitting near the fence waiting for "right time" to jump in and take a dip often end up being a latecomer and take up what is leftover.

There is a clear advantage of being a lifelong student. Learning pays linearly, the attitude of constant learning pays exponentially.

Agree?hashtag
