Founder of Analytics Mentor   

For more than 20 years, I've worked as an individual contributor in software engineering, quality assurance engineering, software release management, data engineering, and analytics. I also bring more than 12 years of leadership experience across these domains where I've interviewed, hired, coached, and elevated professionals like you!

I've operated an individual contributor, manager, director, and senior leader for several top tech (Amazon, eBay, VMWare, Gamestop, and more), where I show data analysts and analytics teams how to incorporate the best practices from software development into the analytics domain.

I'm currently a Sr. Leader of Business Intelligence at Amazon where I lead 2 teams consisting of business analysts and business intelligence engineers.

I have always had a passion for helping others grow and a passion for developing world-class analytics solutions and teams. After finding myself re-creating data and business analytics training and coaching materials at the last 6 companies that I've worked at, I came to understand why analytics teams are so different from software engineering teams, and one key factor is the training (or lack thereof) for professionals entering and working in this domain. I decided to develop Analytics Mentor to help new and experienced professionals grow their careers, just as I've coached and mentored my teams and employees.

In my online courses and coaching sessions, I'll teach you how to develop the necessary skills to be one of the best professionals in the field of data and analytics. I'll show you how to incorporate best practices that I've developed for the analytics domain after working across multiple engineering roles. Not only will you learn a wealth of knowledge, but I'll help you develop your resume, prepare you for interviews, help you negotiate for higher salaries, and grow your career.

With my courses and coaching, you'll become a world-class data analyst and engineer as you learn the analytics best practices and skills that almost no other analytics team (even in the top tech companies) are using today!
