I help entry-level, non-technical professionals get their first data analyst role | Data Analyst @RBC | Data Career Coach

I help immigrants and career-switchers land analyst roles—without burning out on certificates.

By day I build decision-grade analytics (currently at Autodesk). By night I run Data Career Compass, where we treat your job search like a product launch:
Market → Positioning → Portfolio → Distribution → Interviews.

My POV:
Most candidates try to add more tools. Winners learn to package their value. Your portfolio isn’t a gallery; it’s a sales page for your judgment.

Receipts:

→ Professionals land interviews by aligning projects to business outcomes (not toy datasets).

→ My frameworks have been used across finance, tech, and education to translate experience into results.

→ Built data products and controls in regulated environments (RBC Capital Markets) that leaders rely on daily.


What you’ll get here:

→ Weekly breakdowns of real projects (SQL, Python, dbt, DuckDB, Looker/Tableau/Power BI).

→ Storytelling patterns that turn insights into action.

→ Templates that remove friction: portfolio briefs, stakeholder one-pagers, interview scorecards.

Coming April:

I’m launching a coaching program designed for mid-level and senior professionals ready to transition into analytics.

This isn’t an entry-level bootcamp—it’s a career accelerator that helps you reposition your existing experience, communicate business value, and step confidently into data-driven roles.

Work with me:

↳ Cohorts + 1:1 coaching → DM “HIRED”

↳ January program for mid/senior professionals → DM “APRIL” for early access

↳ Guest workshops for teams and communities → DM “WORKSHOP”


I build analysts who think like product managers and communicate like consultants.

Every data analyst has lived through this meeting.

Dashboard says: $1.2M
Finance says: $1.1M

Meeting topic for the next 45 minutes:

“Where did the $100K go?”

First theory:
Maybe a filtering issue.

Second theory:
Currency conversion.

Third theory:
Time zone mismatch.

Fourth theory:
Someone forgot to refresh the data.

Meanwhile the analyst is quietly thinking:

“Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join.”

45 minutes later…

Root cause:

Someone exported the numbers to Excel
…and manually deleted a row “that looked wrong.”

New meeting scheduled:

“Aligning reporting methodology across teams.”

Welcome to data analytics.

Where 90% of the job is not finding insights…

It’s explaining why two numbers that should match… don’t.

If you’ve ever spent an hour chasing a mysterious variance in a meeting, you’re officially part of the club. 📊😅
