About Tracy Talbot

Began career as a computer programmer. Quickly moved into analysis and database design/development. Interned at the State of Wisconsin Employee Trust Fund and ranked number 1 in the State of Wisconsin MIS exam. After a few years working for ETF, left to enter the consulting arena. Worked for several consulting firms with various Wisconsin and Texas clients, focused primarily on database related development projects. Industry exposure includes Insurance, Education, Telecommunication, Apparel, Government, Vacation Rental, Direct Marketing, and Video Games. I've sought out positions in all roles of the system development life cycle from project management, team lead, business analyst, systems analyst, data analyst, data modeler, data architect, application designer, programmer/developer, QA, technical writer, data administration and even business-side end-user. Goals are to continue learning, growing, and achieving new levels of experience and expertise specific to data management. My passion is data. From business problem definition and needs assessment, data profiling, data gap analysis, data requirements definition, conceptual, logical and physical data modeling (OLTP and OLAP), source-to-target data mapping and translation requirements, data integration, data dictionary and enterprise taxonomy, to information management, data governance, metadata management and data architecture, I'm at home. I fit somewhere between the Business and IT in the space where corporate data exists.Specialties: Relational Database Design, Dimensional Database Design (star schema, data marts), Database Data Modeling (ERD tools), Information Management, Data Governance, Meta Data Management, Master Data Management, Enterprise Data Warehouse Architecture, and Technical Documentation

  • Self-Employed
    Sabbatical
    Self-Employed Sep 2021 - Nov 2023
    Paused my career to care for my terminally ill parent who was living alone. After she passed and her estate managed, I came back home with a new puppy and worked as my own General Contractor in a complete home remodel (all of this was as, if not more, challenging than my real profession!) Now that my mother's estate is settled, my home remodel is complete, and my puppy raised, I'm more than a little bored and chomping at the bit to get back to work. I'm open to full-time remote opportunities or hybrid work in the greater Austin,TX area as an internal hire or contract consultant. I'm looking for a company that values data as an asset, invested in ensuring data is fit for use, and is looking for a business analyst / data analyst (database not statistics), or data modeler (conceptual, logical, physical).
