Über mich
I am a Business Intelligence and IT Advisor with 30 years of experience developing bespoke, data-driven, and narrative-supported decision-making solutions via Microsoft Power BI. My career encompasses data in various capacities from IT Consultant to Data Analyst to Senior Data Architect to Business Intelligence Advisor. In addition, I am also a journalist, essayist, flash fiction writer, and poet. Most of my writings are mystery-centric or deal with uncovering and rationally interpreting the mysterious. I have intensely and intently studied storytelling from novel writing to film and TV to comics to interactive storytelling. Data is the smallest building block of any story, the whats, whys, whens, and hows. Any collection of data is a story waiting to be told. But those stories are not always evident. Data needs to be discovered, uncovered, structured, and normalized. It needs to be explored and put into context. Done skillfully stories emerge.
