LATEST PROJECTS
Here are some recent projects that I have been working on throughout 2023, as I continuously strive to diversify my skillset and enhance my capabilities as a Data Analyst. A key aspect of my professional development has been to avoid becoming one-dimensional by relying solely on a limited set of technologies and tools. With this in mind, I have actively engaged with a variety of platforms, including RStudio and the R language, Tableau by Salesforce, and the powerful DAX and Power Query features within Microsoft's Power BI.
Please continue follow me as I continue to progress in my journey in Data!

ABOUT ME
With 24 years of invaluable business experience under my belt, I've honed my skills as a purchasing and inventory manager, serving a prominent professional motorsports team. In this role, I navigated the fast-paced world of motorsports with precision, optimizing supply chains and managing inventories to ensure seamless operations. A unique facet of my journey involved delving into ISO 9001 QMS requirements, particularly in the context of defense-related projects. My passion for technology and unquenchable thirst for knowledge led me to embark on a transformative journey in 2020, when I made the bold decision to return to college. Fast forward to 2022, I proudly graduated from Liberty University with Summa Cum Laude Honors, sporting a perfect 4.0 GPA and a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, with a sharp focus on Database and Application Design. My unyielding dedication to excellence, fueled by both my rich professional background and my recent academic achievements, fuels my fervor to contribute and excel in the ever-evolving landscape of technology. In 2023, I had a profound revelation about my passion for Data Analysis when I successfully obtained my Google Data Analytics Certificate. This certification perfectly complements my extensive background in business, equipping me not only with effective stakeholder communication skills but also with a deep understanding of why stakeholders require my valuable insights to facilitate informed, strategic business decisions that drive organizational success.

MY DRIVE TO STRIVE
Recognizing the ever-expanding significance of data in both daily life and the pivotal role it plays in shaping critical business decisions, I am impassioned by the transformative potential inherent in this wealth of information. My objective is to adeptly leverage the power of data to unveil vital insights that are not only easily digestible but also characterized by impartiality and clarity.
My aspiration is to deliver data-driven solutions that empower key stakeholders, facilitating the advancement of organizational goals and enhancing key performance indicators (KPIs).
With over two decades of experience in purchasing and inventory management within a dynamic and competitive industry, I have seamlessly assumed the role of my own data analyst. Having navigated a volatile supply chain in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, I recognize that the quality of data is as paramount as its comprehension. This deep understanding positions me to bridge the gap between data analysis and stakeholder expectations, ensuring not only an accurate interpretation of data but also a keen awareness of the specific insights crucial for making informed decisions in a rapidly evolving business landscape.
