The right tools for your specific data challenges

Excel remains the most accessible and widely-used data tool for good reason. We leverage advanced Excel techniques including PivotTables, Power Query, and DAX formulas to quickly deliver insights from your data without complex infrastructure.

Leverage the power of SQL programming to query, manipulate, and transform data effectively. I use SQL to extract precisely what you need from relational databases, create efficient joins, and build custom analytical queries to answer your most pressing business questions.

Transform your data into stunning interactive dashboards with Microsoft Power BI. We create reports that deliver real-time insights, allowing your team to make data-driven decisions quickly with self-service analytics that anyone can use.

Bring your data to life with Tableau's powerful visualization capabilities. We create intuitive, interactive dashboards that tell compelling stories about your data, making complex patterns and trends immediately visible to decision-makers.

For statistical analysis and specialized visualizations, R provides unmatched capabilities. We use R's extensive statistical packages and ggplot2 for everything from hypothesis testing to custom visualizations that reveal subtle patterns in your data.

Leverage the power of pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn to extract insights from even the most complex datasets. Python's flexibility makes it perfect for custom data pipelines, machine learning models, and automating repetitive analysis tasks.

It's refreshing to work with an analyst who focuses on results rather than complexity."
