SKILLS
ABOUT BRIAN JACOBSON
Hello everyone, I\'m Brian Jacobson.I thrive on tackling challenges in healthcare analytics, constantly pushing myself to devise pragmatic solutions to complex problems. My professional and technical expertise span a diverse career path: from Implementation Consultant and Project Manager at Epic, to Sales Engineer and Principal Healthcare Solutions Consultant at Qlik, Director of Integration Services at Health Catalyst, and currently as Data Scientist and Director of Analytics for Cactus Healthcare Resources.The common thread across these experiences is my passion for learning, staying ahead of healthcare\'s evolving analytics landscape, and embracing the idea that perfection is often the enemy of progress. I believe in trying, failing, and optimizing in a continual pursuit of excellence, rather than overengineering the first step.In summary-I manage teams-I sell consulting services-I develop analytical reports and dashboards to monitor performance-I build predictive and prescriptive models for all types of data.Nice to meet you.
