Most analysts are strong on one side of the job: either they can build the technical
infrastructure or they can communicate insights to stakeholders. I've spent the last
several years getting serious about both, cleaning and validating data that feeds
machine learning models, building BI layers that serve dozens of clients at once,
engineering AI agents that handle thousands of customer interactions, and running
real-time operations analytics for a large-scale service organization. Each project
pushed me deeper into how data actually flows through a business and where the real
decisions get made.
My edge is that I get both sides. I can write the SQL, build the data model, set up
the pipeline. I can also sit with a non-technical stakeholder, understand the actual
decision they are trying to make, and deliver something they can act on.
Most people are strong on one side. I work in the middle, and that is where
the high-value analytics work lives.
A few technologies I work with regularly:
- SQL
- Python (pandas)
- Power BI
- Tableau
- Looker
- dbt
- BigQuery
- OpenAI API
