Welcome, to the embryo stages of what I hope will be a long, incredible, and fun journey of excellence and improvement.
What this is, is the accumulation of one million open google tabs,multiple different online courses started and stopped, different business idea’s, different conferences, TED talks, podcasts, meetings, and one on one’s, all related to one simple question….how do I become a data expert, or at least future proofed employable data analyst.
This is Dom’s daily dose of data deep dive download (more alliterations….sorry dom.com is taken and I am still working through some material; blast you Richmond power company!!!!!) This will be the home base for my journey. It will be a place where I can take all the things I am super interested in and look at them from a data point of view. I will tell a story using data and data visualization techniques that ultimately is just a way for me to engulf myself in the world of data, apply new things I am learning about, improve my writing, and test my thought process. I am a meathead at heart (I will do my best not to make too many sports analogies), and if there is one thing I know from my football playing days is that film doesn’t lie. Your effort, your energy, your technique is all out there for you and others to see, and if you aren’t doing it right, or you take a play off, that is all part of who you are as a player. So in some ways, this is my way of keeping myself accountable and letting the tape show who I am as an analyst.
So join me on this journey….this is a place for me to learn and play, a place to share my journey for others to gain inspiration as I have been inspired by others, a place to share my idea’s and content creation. Expect a few flaws here and there (like a baby trying to walk before crawling), but please know I do try and not make the same mistake twice!! I freely encourage sharing data structure, viz features, analysis insight, or random thought’s and comments too.
And one last house keeping item……Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer. My posts, analysis, and opinion are my own, and as my wife would recommend, definitely fact check this before taking it too seriously!!!
