Core Competencies

Project Examples

Explaining Inventory Changes

Programmer/Designer

Inventory is up $3 million. That's a lot! How did this happen? What were the main drivers? Select any two months to learn the story. Built using Python (Pandas), JavaScript (Plotly), SQL and Django Rest APIs. Had to replace actual data with dummy data for proprietary reasons.

Alteryx + Tableau

Programmer/Designer

Alteryx is a great tool to collect raw data, manipulate it, and upload clean data to Tableau Server. I've published numerous dashboards this way. Probably my best use case was developing a new global inventory metric ($650 million) for executive leadership.

OBIEE (Oracle Business Intelligence)

Programmer/Designer

I've used OBIEE dashboards and agents to drive decisions on areas like capacity planning and inventory management. I became an expert at creating union reports and making dynamic pages using conditional statements and HTML/CSS.
