You are an engineer, not a data scientist, and yet you spend hours on your data.
My name is Thibaut, I’ve been an aeronautical engineer for 25 years. I’ve been through this and I’ve found a way out.
Do you recognize yourself?
Your true value lies in your professional expertise.
Your knowledge of the field, the components, and the processes.
But in practice, a good part of your week looks like this:
- Exporting data from software and copying it into Excel
- Cleaning up files that no one has properly documented
- Manually recreating a report you’ve already done 50 times
- Combining sensor data without the right tools
It’s not your job. But you’re the one doing it.
This blog exists to change that.
Concrete methods. Code that works. Real-world results.
No abstract theory. No unnecessary jargon.
Each article starts with a real problem — one you may have right now — and offers a solution you can apply as early as this week.
Python scripts to automate your repetitive tasks.
Methods for analyzing your sensor data without being a data scientist.
Real-world examples drawn from 25 years of field experience in the aerospace industry.
The goal remains the same: to give you back time to do your real job.
Who I am
Thibaut — Aeronautical engineer, not a data guru
25 years in the aerospace industry.
Research projects on predictive maintenance.
Hundreds of hours spent wondering why we were wasting so much time on tasks that could have been automated.
In 2020, I decided to seriously investigate the issue. And what I learned changed the way I work.
That’s what I’m sharing here—no fluff, with actual working code.

Why Mechanical Engineers Should Learn Python in 2026 (and Where to Start)
For years, my go-to tool was Excel. Pivot tables, nested formulas, a bit of VBA whenever things got truly repetitive. It was tedious and fragile – one misnamed file or a moved column, and the whole thing would fall apart. But since everyone around me was doing it, I kept at it. In 2020, I…

Stop manually opening 2000 files: finally discover SQL databases
In the previous article, we saw how to automatically create a PDF report from 3 test reports. The process works perfectly; you automatically generate: Everything seems perfect. But a few months later, a new problem arises. You have to deal with: And a simple question becomes a nightmare; imagine your manager asking you: “Find all…

From raw data to official document
We’ve made it! In just six articles, you’ve learned to tame the chaos of files, clean up noisy signals, automate complex calculations, and create interactive dashboards. But for your client, your manager, or your team, work only exists if it’s deliverable. This final step is about value creation. We will learn how to automatically generate…
