About Diller Digital

Diller Digital is a provider of world-class training in Python programming, aimed at scientists, engineers, and analysts.  Officially licensed to deliver training from the acclaimed Enthought Academy, Diller Digital offers a selection of 5-day courses featuring 20 hours of live interaction with Enthought-alum instructors with decades of combined experience delivering 100's of week-long courses from Enthought Academy to customers in government and industry.

Diller Digital was founded by Tim Diller in October 2023 to serve the market for high-touch, interactive training in Python-based programming and analysis in a licensed handoff from Enthought after they refocused their offerings.  Diller Digital instructors have delivered many iterations of Python Foundations for Scientists & Engineers, Data Analysis with Pandas, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Software Engineering.  (Click here for course descriptions.)  Diller Digital specializes in teaching data analysis workflows in Python to professionals with a range of backgrounds and experiences, from near-novices whose programming experiences is limited to spreadsheet formulas, to experienced programmers who are looking to add Python to a long list of other languages or fill in the gaps of self-teaching.  Classes are held roughly twice a month, check the current schedule and blog for details.

Tim holds B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. in Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  Between Master's and Doctoral degrees, Tim spend 5 years working at the Michelin Americas Research & Development Corporation in Greenville, South Carolina, first as a test engineer, instrumenting tire / vehicle systems and writing software to manage the flow of test data, and eventually doing modeling and simulations of tire/vehicle systems for handling performance.

After returning to his roots in Austin, Texas to pursue a Ph.D. measuring and modeling the emission of particulates from diesel engines, Tim signed on at Enthought and spent 12½ years writing software for clients in engineering disciplines from consumer products to oil exploration and chemical manufacturing, then managing software teams, then managing digital transformations for large customer accounts in semiconductor and specialty materials manufacturing.

Early in his career at Enthought, Tim started teaching courses in Python for mid-career scientists and engineers and helped to develop the curriculum for what would become the Enthought Academy curriculum.  Throughout his career with its many turns, Tim has exhibited a passion for engineering, software, and improving human potential through education.  Tim's goal in founding Diller Digital is to elevate the value and dignity of the work of scientists and engineers by giving them digital tools and the skills to learn new tools or even build their own to take their work to a new level.

Tim enjoys the double meaning of "Digital", referring both to data expressed in 1s and 0s with all of the associated technologies and to the fingers, pointing to the work of our hands.
