Allow Me to Introduce Myself
My name is Annie Cushing, and I make data sexy. I’m so passionate about making data sexy, I literally wrote the book on it. My forte is gathering, analyzing, and visualizing marketing data of all types. I find the story it’s trying to tell and deliver insights and strategies from it. I have to talk about it on my blog because no one wants to hear about it at parties.
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible if this song is now stuck in your head.
Blog
I am passionate about making technical, data-drenched topics around AI, engineering, data science, and web analytics accessible to those wanting to learn more about these topics. Although I have a master’s degree in data science, I’m less interested in academic discussions and focus my posts on the business impact of data and AI, with a proclivity to share my code and/or example files.
AI Timeline
Keep your finger on the pulse of AI-related news, innovations, legislation, and more with my interactive AI Timeline. You can filter by company, roughly 100 tags (at the time of writing), as well as keywords—even bookmark updates that are most important to you (e.g., updates from DeepSeek, ‘AI for good’ advances that benefit society, video generation, legal action, etc).
AI Strategy App
Building an AI app and need to choose the best model(s) for the job? I gotchu! My AI Strategy App takes you by the hand and guides you through how to use the best leaderboards for your tasks. I define benchmarks, provide tips, and link to methodology documentation so you can make informed decisions, saving you time, money, latency, and who knows what else? And best part: IT’S FREE.
Machine Learning Model Picker
Deciding on a machine learning model for a project can be onerous task. To ease with that process, I created an interactive flowchart to walk you through the process. Each step has aids to explain the process, to help stakeholders who don’t live and breathe data as well as newbies.
Tech Tips
I regularly share tips to help analysts, data scientists, engineers, and marketers along the learning curve of data and AI.
Portfolio
Want to see samples of my work? I created an interactive portfolio with project descriptions and supporting multimedia. My focus areas are AI engineering, AI strategy, data science, and data visualization. My tagline is “I make data sexy” for a reason. 📈👠
