Our Python-Related Tech Expertise

Our Approach to Python Consulting

Hands-on expertise

ScienceSoft’s consultants are senior Python developers and data scientists who code in Python every day and offer their practical advice. When needed, they can also temporarily join your development team to execute tasks requiring advanced skills.

Documented deliverables

We create clear documentation describing the analysis we’ve done and our recommendations. In doing that, we guarantee that all project stakeholders can access the information and revisit the documents later if needed.

Productive teamwork

We don’t give abstract Python recommendations but collaborate closely with your team to understand the software specifics and establish productive knowledge exchange.

Work transparency

We give you access to our log tools and send regular reports to keep you up to date on the project progress.

Our service delivery timeframes

We have a well-organized process for Python consulting and can confidently deliver results within the shortest timeframe:

300-400 LoC/hr

for Python code review
7-14+ days
