The Path

Start where you are. Finish job-ready.

The bundle is a deliberate sequence. Build the Python foundation first, then apply it to real machine-learning problems in finance.

Step 01 · Beginner
Python Fundamentals

Build on the Excel skills you already have, see the parallels fast, and put the open-source libraries finance runs on, NumPy and Pandas, to work.

6 modules · 3.5 hours
Step 02 · Intermediate
Applied Machine Learning

Build real ML models on real financial data with scikit-learn. Two full case studies, from raw data to a production model you can explain to your team.

7 modules · 2 case studies
Two PyFi certifications, one portfolio of real work.
Finish with Python automation skills and two deployable ML models built on real finance data.
Outcomes

Everything you can do once you finish both.

Straight from the course objectives. Python automation and analysis, then applied machine learning, all on real finance data.

Fundamentals

Analyze financial data with Pandas

Clean, transform, and analyze financial data at a scale and speed a spreadsheet cannot touch.

Fundamentals

Put NumPy to work

Fast, array-based math, aggregation, and randomization, the numerical engine under every finance library.

Fundamentals

Write your own Python tools

Work with Python’s core objects and write reusable functions, loops, and logic.

Applied ML

Ship a bond liquidity regressor

Build it on real data with scikit-learn pipelines, and ship the best of five models.

Applied ML

Build an investor classifier

Evaluate it with confusion matrices, AUROC, and F1 scores, then select the winner.

Both courses

Earn two PyFi certifications

Pass both exams and add Python and machine learning to your resume and LinkedIn.

What's inside

Two complete courses. Open each one up.

Expand a course for objectives, curriculum, and a sample lesson.
What you'll be able to do
  • See the direct parallels between the Excel work you already do and Python, so the fundamentals click fast.
  • Get comfortable in a real coding environment: Jupyter notebooks, variables, calculations, and outputs.
  • Work with Python’s core objects (lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries) and write your own functions, loops, and logic.
  • Put NumPy to work for fast, array-based math, aggregation, and randomization.
  • Use Pandas to clean, transform, and analyze financial data at a scale and speed a spreadsheet cannot touch.
  • Tap into the open-source ecosystem: free, professional-grade tools that are a genuine edge over locked-down, paid software.
  • Earn the PyFi certification for your resume and LinkedIn.

Zach Washam
Ex - Wells Fargo

Zach founded PyFi (originally Machine Learning Edge) in 2018 after a career at Wells Fargo Securities. While working as an analyst on the debt syndication desk, he taught himself Python and built the firm's first machine learning algorithm for investment banking, using predictive modelling to improve decision-making in capital markets.

He submitted two algorithms for patent protection and won Wells Fargo's 2018 Local Sphere Innovation Award. His original research, including the efficient frontier framework for mapping Python against competing finance tools, remains foundational to PyFi's published work. His courses have been delivered to thousands of finance professionals at institutions including J.P. Morgan, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, and TD Bank.
