Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Marius here, founder of d8a academy.
I built D8A Academy because I kept seeing the same story: people finish a data course, get a certificate, apply to 100 jobs... and hear nothing back. The problem isn't the learning. It's that a certificate says you watched a course. A portfolio says you can do the work. Recruiters can tell the difference.
So d8a flips the model. Instead of videos and quizzes, you build real projects with real datasets across 4 career paths (Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Data Engineer, Data Scientist). Every project you complete goes straight into a public portfolio page you can put on your CV and LinkedIn. We even validate your work against your GitHub repo before it counts.
A few things I'm proud of:
🛠️ Project-first: you write real SQL, Python and dashboards from day one
📁 Auto-built portfolio: a recruiter-ready page that grows as you ship
🌳 A skill tree covering all 4 data paths, so you always know what's next
🏆 Weekly challenges + leaderboard to keep the momentum going
👥 A community of 1,000+ aspiring data professionals learning and building together
🆓 Free to start: sign up, explore the paths, and try a full foundations course without paying anything
I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially if you're breaking into data right now or you hire data people: what would make a portfolio actually convince you?
I'll be here all day answering questions. Ask me anything! 🚀
