About Kirsten Hoogenakker
Now more than ever, we have incredible amounts of data at our fingertips. I pride myself in my analytical thinking, statistical problem solving, and ability to break problems down into smaller pieces with well-defined outcomes. Sifting through data is only half of the challenge. My communication skills and practices allow me to engage with stakeholders from different backgrounds and ensure data-driven decisions are well-understood. Through careful analysis, machine learning, visualizations, and clear presentations, I provide solutions to the toughest questions.Technical skills: Dataiku, Tableau, Python (libraries: numpy, pandas, Seaborn, scikit-learn, scipy), machine learning, SQL, visualization and dashboards (PowerBI, Salesforce Einstein), data flow, ETLInterpersonal/non-technical skills: teamwork, teaching/education, advocate for continual growth, leadership, active listening, time management, project management, creative problem solving, design, troubleshooting problems, flexibility
