Tableau
Tableau is my primary tool for turning cleaned data into dashboards and visual analytics that anyone can explore. It’s designed to make insights accessible without requiring heavy coding, but it’s powerful enough to handle complex analysis when paired with good data preparation.
It helps teams explore trends and share insights with minimal code.
How I use Tableau in practice
Interactive Dashboards
Tableau allows me to build dashboards where users can filter, drill down, and interact with the data directly — turning static reports into tools people can actually explore.
Data Connections
Tableau connects seamlessly to the outputs of other tools I use, such as Alteryx workflows, SQL databases, or Excel files. This means the dashboards are always pulling from the latest, most reliable version of the data.
Visual Analysis
With a wide library of charts and visuals—from simple bar charts to complex maps and trend lines—Tableau helps highlight patterns that might otherwise stay hidden in rows and columns.
Automation & Refreshes
Once built, dashboards can be published to Tableau Server or Tableau Online so they refresh automatically. That way, teams don’t have to manually update reports each week or month.
Advanced Features
Tableau also supports calculated fields, parameters, and custom logic, which allows me to build tailored views for specific business questions — from financial trends to customer engagement tracking.
In short, Tableau acts as the presentation layer of my analytics stack. While Python and Alteryx prepare and automate the data behind the scenes, Tableau makes it visual and interactive so others can quickly explore and act on it.
