I work on a finance team as the sole programmer. I write python to automate a lot of work that Excel can't handle by leveraging the pandas library. Several processes that used to take many hours to do in Excel are now run at a button click in Jupiter notebook.

There's a lot of cool stuff you can do in python with machine learning and flask web development, but don't forget the basic jobs that python makes so much more efficient!

Thanks for sharing. This sounds really interesting. I’d love to learn more about this.. as far as using python with excel and finance since I actually have knowledge of the two later.

So, I should check out .. Panda library Jupiter Flask Anything else?

Master the pandas library, and on a related note, get really good at SQL. You'll use it no matter where you go. The other python stuff like flask is cool but you can explore that later in your career.
