Learn, Grow and Excel in Data & Analytics 🤝
The Genesis of Self-Taught Data Lab
Hi, I'm Chris Awoke
I am a data analyst, tech educator, and software engineer with over 4 years of experience in the technology industry. I have always been interested in mathematics, statistics, and programming, but I never had any formal training or education in these areas. With a background in biological sciences and a natural flair for the analytical side of things, my curiosity and love of learning led me to find ways to teach myself new skills.
Through my journey, I’ve learned that anyone can transition into the data and analytics field with the right resources and support. While formal education and bootcamps offer valuable benefits such as structures, networking opportunities, and accountability, not everyone can afford the fees and time commitment. That’s why our platform exists—to bridge that gap and provide you with the tools and community you need to thrive.

I founded the Self-Taught Data Lab because I understand that becoming a resourceful data professional isn’t always a straight path.
