Current focus / Open source

A Tableau Cloud site.
One file to inspect.

I’m building Tableau Cloud Audit, a Python collector that brings site metadata and activity into DuckDB for local analysis.

Alpha. Looking for feedback from real Tableau Cloud environments.

How I work

Shipping is
the beginning.

Then comes the ownership.

Read the BI platform manifesto

  1. A metric needs a definition, not another dashboard.

    Agree on what a number means before building more ways to display it.

  2. Usage belongs in the feedback loop.

    A dashboard nobody opens is a reason to ask questions. Adoption is part of running the platform.

  3. Reliability is a feature.

    Monitoring, failure handling and clear ownership belong in the work from the start.

  4. Collect evidence before recommending a fix.

    An inactive Tableau account deserves a review. It is not, by itself, proof of wasted spend.

Beyond the stack

An engineering background.
A business perspective.

My path runs through logistics, energy, consulting and SaaS. I work on the datasets, definitions and operational details that make analytics usable across a business.

Outside work: open-source projects, photography, and time spent volunteering at an animal shelter.
