Why this project exists and what the implementation should teach.Purpose / Learning
Purpose
Maintain a dedicated Python environment for practical data work while building toward deeper analysis projects.
Learning Objectives
- Use isolated reproducible Python environments.
- Load and clean structured datasets.
- Practice tabular transformation and aggregation.
- Create clear visualizations.
- Connect analysis work to SQL and database sources.
- Document experiments so they can be resumed and reproduced.
Technology Plan
Current, planned, legacy, or candidate technologies for this project.Implementation Scope
Planned behaviors, architecture decisions, and evidence this project should produce.
Environment
Keep Python tooling reproducible and separate from system Python.- uv-managed Python.
- Virtual environments.
- Project dependencies.
Data handling
Practice common analysis operations on small real or dummy datasets.- Load.
- Clean.
- Filter.
- Group.
- Aggregate.
Visualization
Create one clear chart per analytical question.- Labels and units.
- Appropriate chart type.
- No decorative complexity.
Database bridge
Later compare file-based and database-backed analysis.- SQL query to DataFrame.
- PostgreSQL source.
- Reproducible extracts.

Current State
The local data-science-lab environment and Python virtual environment already exist.
Growth Path
Add projects only when a concrete dataset/question justifies them.
