I started my career back in the days where Microsoft Excel was my whole world. Like an avid gamer I am, I obtained more skills over the years such as SQL, Python, Power BI and most importantly... Tableau.
For many, the path of data was usually either analytics-focused or technology-focused (i.e. engineering) but what I really enjoyed was using data to communicate. So much that I decided to jump into a graduate program from Maryland Institute College of Art which was really challenging with two toddlers in the house. (Regardless how caffeinated I am...)
But I had grown really fond of telling stories, sharing insights and teaching others how to do the same.
Technology is always advancing and while I was proud of what I could achieve in Excel years ago, it's worth much less in today's context. But what kept me going all these years, is the constant drive for self-improvement and my curious mind.
I draw inspiration from many things in life, mostly through how others tell their data stories; which is why I'm captivated by good storytelling in role-playing video games.
You would notice that I have omitted the typical skills and proficiency % and that is because I find those arbitrary in nature, and what matters in the end is the delivery.
