Diogo Alves de Resende
Hi, I’m Diogo Resende, a data scientist, AI educator, course creator, and startup founder.
I believe data, analytics, and AI should feel practical, approachable, and useful, and definitely not intimidating, overly academic, or disconnected from real work. My goal is to help people understand not just how technology works, but how to use it to solve meaningful business problems, build useful projects, and grow their careers.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of data, business, and technology, helping people and companies turn complex problems into practical, data-driven decisions. My background combines hands-on industry experience, business strategy, analytics, machine learning, forecasting, A/B testing, commercial planning, and generative AI.
That mix of technical depth and business context shapes the way I teach. I create learning experiences that are clear, practical, and focused on real outcomes. Over the years, I’ve taught tens of thousands of learners through online courses covering Python, data science, statistics, time series forecasting, RAG, AI agents, and modern AI tools.

Excelente visión y dominio de los temas, muy dinamico y te atrapa muy facil, me agrado mucho. Gracias
By Elizabeth Mora Estrella on 7/30/2026
My only suggestion is to include the time it takes to complete the activities to the time of the training. They take so long, and the time of the training does not consider them. There was no way I could complete this training in 3 hours.

It was really a knowledgeable, fun and eye-opener course. I'd really look forward to more courses from Diogo.

Tiene buen contenido, explica cómo funcionan los sesgos en la toma de decisiones y hay un apartado de métricas muy interesantes
By Wendell Anthony on 1/14/2026
It gave a good perspective of the limited things we use to make important decisions. To broaden your views, the decision making is so much powerful and more accurately. And it was good to understand the biases because that's the biggest culprit.
