what stood out

Causal inference changed how I think about work. Understanding what *causes* an outcome—not just correlates with it—is what separates good analysis from advice that actually sticks.

The capstone forced me to go from notebook to production. Deployment is part of the problem. A model in a Jupyter file is curiosity. A model behind an API is a system.
