Data Science Pair Interview

Requirements

• Python 3.11 (you can change this in the pyproject.toml file)
• Docker
• Ngrok
• GNU Make

Usage

Get Setup

Create your local environment with

poetry install

Ensure you have created and validated your account with Ngrok.

Make you Dataset

src/interview/data.py contains an example function to build the classic Iris dataset. You can extend this as you see fit to create one or more custom datasets relevant to your business. There is a Poetry script to run the make_data function and build the dataset, which you can run with:

make data

Run the Notebook with Docker

Build the container and run the notebook with

make build run

This will copy your data and notebook to the container, install any packages you specified in your pyproject.toml file, then run the notebook in the container. Jupyter will be available on port 8888. Take not of the authentication token.

Setup a Tunnel

Start Ngrok with ngrok http 8888. This will give you the URL you will share with the candidate, as illustrated below.

By following this link the candidate can login to Jupyter Lab running in the container on your machine using the Jupyter authentication token you took note of above.
