My career has been a winding road starting out freezing my way around the ski resorts of the world making snow to my current passion of working with data and discovering how to make businesses work better. Having studied mechanical engineering, I unknowingly sharpened my skills to succeed in my current business intelligence role. The engineering background gave me a keen eye for design and systematically solving problems. When I had the opportunity to transition from design in the physical world to the digital, I jumped into it with both feet. The first significant jump in data analysis was using Tableau to build data visualizations. I learned by doing and continued improvement, which led to understanding the entire chain - from gathering data to functional data visualizations. My obsession with automating the ETL process as much as possible allowed me to build a complete data ecosystem to process data from across the vast corporate landscape and make it into something that brings value to the customer.The experience of building this data solution from the ground up has given me the unique understanding of how the whole stack works together to provide the customers with solutions as simple, clean extracts to predictive AI models.While my journey may not be that out of the norm, each of my experiences has provided me with a different tool to find innovative solutions and see the problems from different perspectives. Sometimes this takes some empathy because changing existing processes is not as easy for all stakeholders. I am always excited for the next challenge that expands my intellectual curiosity in order to solve more complex problems or learn something completely new.Business Intelligence | Data Visualizations | Change Management | Data Analytics | Data Governance | Business Strategy | Process Improvements | Extract Transform Load | Tableau | Azure Data Factory | Alteryx | PowerBi | SQL
