Experience

1. Founder & Data Consultant

   Blue Dog Data Science

   Jun 2020 — Present · Missoula, MT, US

   I founded Blue Dog Data Science during the pandemic as an initiative to offer data consultancy services. Originating as a side project, I collaborated with former employers and local businesses in Missoula, Montana, providing guidance on enterprise data projects, orchestrating project scoping sessions, and refining data-centric processes. While my current commitments have shifted away from direct client interactions, I preserve Blue Dog\'s online presence, with aspirations of transitioning towards creating data-related content. My offerings encompassed data analysis and visualization, harnessing tools like Python, R, and Tableau to elucidate intricate data sets compellingly. I partnered with clients to carve out data strategies in sync with their aspirations, shaping KPI-focused, data-imbued solutions. My expertise extended to crafting automated custom reports, fostering efficiency. Central to my service was fostering enduring client relationships, marked by regular engagement and consistent value addition. I adeptly integrated BI platforms, enabling clients to glean real-time insights from intuitive dashboards. An essential component was the training modules I curated, arming client teams with the proficiency to independently navigate data-driven tasks. My approach also emphasized cost-efficiency in data handling, ensuring optimal utilization of resources without compromising on data quality. To remain at the vanguard of the industry, I continually acquainted myself with emerging trends, guaranteeing that my consultancy embodied the pinnacle of contemporary data practices.
