Datalumina Recensioni 77

So I didn't even finish the program.. opportunities started coming in faster than I could keep up and I just ran with them! Take that as you will :)

What I got from the Data Freelancer program was a mindset shift, the tools, and the network! Finding your niche, building inbound systems that fit you (either LinkedIn, YouTube, whatever works for you), learning how to position yourself and go after the right jobs!

Nobody hands you anything though.. you show up, you do the work. Like anything worth doing! Now, the difference is that you're surrounded by ambitious people in AI and data who are actually building stuff, and that energy rubs off on you! Opportunities flow through the network too, which helps when you've put in the effort ;)

The biggest thing for me is that it opened up how I see opportunities altogether. Not just freelancing, but starting products, engaging with people I normally wouldn't approach, seeing possibilities I didn't know were there. My whole field of vision got wider.

10/10 would do it again! :)

When I decided freelancing I had little idea about how to handle this big career step. I just saw lots of competition since nowadays everyone wants to be a digital nomad. Data freelancer provided clear steps to follow and practical information so that I was building the foundations before registering a VAT number. By the time I started applying I had a solid base so recruiters started calling soon. It took me less than 4 weeks to get my first mission after landing in France 🇫🇷 .

Before joining the program I was lacking confidence and clarity about how to earn a living selling my skills. I'd worked for years in corporate as a principal engineer and director but had no idea how to making a living on my own. The program has been incredible and the content and community are first class. I left with confidence and insights I needed to land my first client. Highly recommended.

I started out completely lost as to what all I needed to do to get customers reliably as a freelancer. Data Freelancer gave me an all-encompassing roadmap which was exactly what I needed to get started. They can take you from not knowing where to start, to having a systematic process that just needs to be followed. Anything unique to your situation can be asked in a Q&A call or by posting in the group.

The community is filled with experienced engineers, agency owners, freelancers, startup founders, etc. The community itself is super helpful and knowledgeable. It's a great networking opportunity.

Data Freelancer helped me land my first contract, helped me not get taken advantage of, and gave me the confidence to pursue my freelancing journey. If you have experience in data or AI engineering, want to start freelancing, and don't know where to start, I highly recommend joining Data Freelancer.

Since joining the Data Freelance program, I have found excellent resources and clear systems to start my journey. This requires dedication and adapting the systems to your own situation, but if you follow the systems and dedicate time to your journey, you will see results!

Data Freelancer program has been a real game changer in transitioning to become freelancer.
They have very well structured course and amazing community!

What I appreciate most about the DataFreelancer program is the holistic approach to freelancing. It is not just about engaging prospects. It is also about engaging yourself. That is exactly what Dave teaches us. Combined with clear playbooks, it makes freelancing more enjoyable and, as a result, more successful.

Data Freelancer gave me the confidence to bet on myself. Week 2 alone, setting one clear goal, guided every decision I made for the next year. I crossed $100K in revenue 3 months ahead of my original target. I only finished 3 of 6 weeks. That's not a criticism. It's proof: the program gives you what you need to actually start moving. For me, that was permission to believe it was possible, and a framework to run with. The rest was execution.

Coming from a full-stack SaaS background, I wanted to get on the AI train but wasn’t sure what direction to take. I joined the Datalumina Freelance Program to explore whether AI freelancing could be the right path for me, while I was still considering starting another business.

For me, the first part of the program was the most valuable. Writing down what truly matters to me and building my plan from there. It gave me clarity and direction. As the program progressed, it became clearer that the freelance path suited me best for the coming years.

The real strength of the program is that you’re never on your own: the weekly Q&A sessions, Dave’s guidance, and the community make it easy to ask questions, stay accountable, and keep growing. That makes it much more powerful than a standard online course or Udemy class. It’s practical, personal, and focused on real progress.

Since joining, I’ve landed my first two AI freelance projects! A big milestone and proof that the system works 💪

Both the Datalumina Freelancer and GenAI Accelerator tracks helped me gain technical knowledge and focus in a fast-moving AI landscape. It is an intensive program that requires commitment, but the weekly calls keep you sharp and on track. Within three months I landed two freelance projects and got an ROI on the course. So far the best choice to work for myself while keeping a strong group vibe.

Before joining, I felt that my growth at my company had reached a ceiling. I knew I had the potential to do much more than what a standard 9-to-5 allowed, but I didn’t have a clear path to make that transition. I wanted to start something of my own, but I wasn’t sure how to turn my skills into a consistent freelance business.

The Data Freelancer course provided exactly the structure and guidance I needed. It wasn’t just information, it was a full system. I learned how to build both inbound and outbound systems to generate leads, how to think like a business owner rather than just a technician, and how to position myself effectively in the market.
What really made the difference, though, was the community and coaching. The content itself is strong, but the coaching ensured I was applying it correctly and not misinterpreting anything. Having direct feedback helped me move faster and stay confident in my approach.

By following the program and using the templates and frameworks provided, I landed my first front-end contract worth just under five figures, much sooner than I expected. Honestly, I didn’t think that would be possible in such a short timeframe, especially as someone just starting out.

Datalumina's Datafreelancer program helped me to become an independent freelancer!
Being in industry for about 10 years!
I always had this feeling for freelancing but I never took action because of the fear of not getting regular income but I overlooked my ability to earn morethan my regular income.

Datalumina helped me to overcome that limiting belief and here I am writing this review!

I can't recommend enough datafreelance program.

When i first joined Data Freelancer, i realized i'm probably the youngest person out there tbh haha. But obviously that's why its very exciting as well since most people that joins Data Freelancer are transitioning from a full-time job to Freelancing while i myself if from beeing a student to Freelancing and avoid that full-time job which i think is more pressure for me. After several months, it finally paid off and was really happy with the result. Obviously, it's still the begining and the next months will be even better obviously :).

The Course content here is top-level, everything i need to get started and i do think that people that join even from 0 experience in freelancing could achieve greatness here. Recommended to anyone with true passion.

I've been freelancing for 6+ years. I was on $50/hour for the last 3 years and struggling to level up. I even started a gig at $75/hour and got fired after a month... oops.

I knew I needed some structure and support. And that's exactly what you get with Data Freelancer.

After 2 months in the course, I'm now fully booked at $125/hour. I said I'd attribute anything over $100/hour earnings towards DF. So, I'm making an extra ~$4000 per month thanks to their support. For sure, one of the projects I'm doing, I would not have been able to do without DF's help (specifically the genai-launchpad which provides the much needed MLOps infra we can use for all projects).

I'll be honest, I haven't done the video course. It's more geared towards beginners. But there are several more experienced guys in the group too and I know if I have more advanced level questions, they are welcome and answered.

Dave is super helpful. The community isn't massive, so he really does have time to help you if you need/want it. I know if something goes terribly wrong on a project, I'll be able to get support. Having that safety net makes it much easier to reach for bigger projects, talk more confidently in sales calls and do cooler, more impactful work!

Next stop $200/hour!

AI is full of hype, noise, and superficial tutorials—but few resources truly prepare you to build production-ready solutions. That’s where the GenAI Accelerator stood out. Dave’s practical, no-fluff approach helped me cut through the chaos and build real, scalable applications.

This hands-on program gave me the mindset, tools, and support to confidently solve real business problems—not just play with prototypes. If you’re serious about AI, stop waiting. You won’t ever feel 100% ready. I’m glad I took the leap.

(This is an honest review based on my experience—no sponsorship involved.)

I struggled to start working on my own for two years. I lacked clarity and a simple, step-by-step process. Working alone, I constantly questioned myself and didn't take enough action.

The Datalumina team helped me begin with confidence and support. They guided me and prevented me from making beginner mistakes. The course material is great, but the best part is talking one-on-one with someone who has been where you are.

Wins? An easy one: on my first project I went from charging €50/hr to €150/hr.
But the biggest win is having help in my darkest moments. When nothing seems to be working and you want to quit. Now, I know I have someone that won't let me quit.

Thanks Dave, Hwei and all the community!

Data Freelancer is the most practical, end-to-end program I’ve attended. It’s very much about the algorithmic approach for getting gigs and your name our there, but also about building a sustainable business with real systems, clear positioning, proven playbooks and focusing on long-term relationships with clients. Dave shares his blueprints that actually work in real world, not just theory. The community is sharp and supportive. If you want to move beyond the corporate grind and build real independence in data or AI, start here.

I thoroughly enjoyed the community and being able to bounce ideas off of people in similar situations. The courses are in-depth and the mentors help you with anything and everything you need to get started in a professional capacity. I could not recommend the investment in yourself and your business more.

Before joining Data Freelancer, I was feeling isolated and unsure about the decisions I was making after leaving my job over a year ago. I lacked direction, clarity, and the confidence to navigate the independant consulting mode of working. I had no idea if I was pricing correctly, how to approach the right clients in the different geographies, or structuring proposals in a way that would land long-term, well paying work.

Joining Data Freelancer has been a breather. Through the Q&A calls, resources, and support from the community (especially Dave, Hwei, and many others), being surrounded by like-minded people has given me a deep sense of belonging and motivation. I’ve learned how to build proposals with clarity, price and approach projects with true confidence. The mindset shift has been incredible — the confidence has brought about a personality change too. Beyond the career-focused help, I’ve even improved my lifestyle — sleeping better, staying healthier, and becoming more organised making better use of my time.

My best results so far:
- Landed a **$3,000 paid discovery** within 3–4 weeks of joining (at $50/hr). Received my **first official client payment**, which felt like a significant milestone.
- Currently delivering a **$9,000 proof-of-concept** for a major pharmaceutical company, with promising signals for a long-term partnership.

I’m truly grateful for this community — it’s been a life-changing experience. I’m excited about what lies ahead and hope to continue learning, growing, and contributing back.
