When I am not prowling the Tableau Forums for new information, or someone I can help, I like to be out on, or by the sea.

Steffen Volkerding
On the professional side of life my background lies in business administration where I hold an MBA from Leiden University in the Netherlands and a German "Diplom Kaufmann" which translates into a Masters degree. Before starting to move more into data I was working about four years for a Big Four Auditing and Consulting firm where I was employed in the restructuring practice, helping companies getting through the tough times of business. Followed by 7 years in a mid-cap ship management company working as a Finance Manager. As of latest I have then transitioned to my current position with global real estate brokering firm Engel & Völkers where I work in the Controlling department and have recently been appointed as Lead Business Intelligence Finance and I am running our internal “Tableau Training Tuesday”. First contact with Tableau must have been around mid 2018 but it wasn’t before mid 2019 when things started to materialize within the company. Since then I have been eagerly consuming countless how-tos, blog entries and forum posts from the wide Tableau community and trying to share and give back from what I have learned. Put my knowledge to the test early 2021 when I got Tableau Associate certified. Besides I quickly noticed that I would need to learn more not only about Tableau but about data in general so I decided to also get the Google Data Analytics certificate. Apart from professional life I am a father of two lovely girls. I love Heavy Metal in (almost) all its facets. The Wacken Open Air is a must on my yearly routine for a decade now and I enjoy as many live concerts as possible. Practicing Krav Maga and Kali (Filipino Martial Arts) fills the few time slots that remain.
Steve Martin
I just love helping others solve their problems, particularly complex ones, and whilst I do help on other forums such as StackExchange and Qlik, I spend nearly all my time in our Tableau community. Data has always been a real passion for me, and as both an SQL engineer and analyst, I am always able to satisfy my passions: Investigating, building (data warehouses), transforming, modelling, mining, performance optimising and analytics; though it wasn’t until September 2008, when I built my first Tableau dashboard, that I was able to see just how powerful interactive analytics could be. I build as dynamic as possible, which usually means parameters, window calcs and CustomSQL and hardly any filters.

Yi Liu
I have been engaged in supply chain and commercial retail for decades. I always like relevant data collection and analysis, auxiliary management and decision-making. It's amazing to start contacting tableau in 2019! It solves many problems that can not be solved by many tools and software in the past. From basic data cleaning to the interactive display and commercial application of the final dashboard, it realizes a complete closed-loop tool for business management, and has great potential. I personally like the knowledge and tools related to data science. There are many in the market, from Python and R of programming language, basic office access and excel, to database visualization, and then to visual Bi represented by tableau; Each has its own strengths, but tableau is the most promising In tableau forum, I hope to get to know more data fans and enjoy the clear data insight and visual impact it brings. It's a very happy thing

Vani Agarwal
My name is Vani Agarwal and I’ve been born and bought up in Kolkata, India. My high school majors has been done in the field of commerce and so has been my college. I did my undergrads in Accounting and Finance from J.D Birla Institute affiliated to Jadavpur University. Although I’ve done all my studies in the field of commerce, my interest and mind has always been in the IT sector. Web Technology was one of my optional subjects in high school which I honestly took up after my mom persisted me to and that completely changed my life because that’s where I discovered my passion for coding and graphic designing. As soon as I passed school, I took up a 2 year long course along with college on We, Graphic Designing and Development. Being a practical learner, I knew I had to take up an internship or job to actually learn web designing and development properly, so I went ahead and applied at multiple places for internships or part time jobs. As luck might have it, I did get a part time job as a Graphics and Web Designer. After working there for almost 1.5 years or so, I came to a conclusion that this wasn’t the right field for me. I needed to do something much more analytical and thought provoking and the current work was way too monotonous and straight forward for me. By the end of my last semester, I enrolled in a Data Science course to learn data analytics and that is where I got introduced to Tableau. There wasn’t much in the course so I never really learnt the software or was even interested in it, but attending the Tableau Fringe Festival by Emily Kund one day randomly changed everything for me. I got extremely impressed by what the software had to offer and started an extensive research on anything related to tableau online and that’s when I stumbled upon tons of wonderful blogs, pages, tutorials and videos by the datafam . I started practicing, making vizzes, posted them online on linkedin, made connections, attended lots of seminars and conferences, interacted with datafam worldwide and soon got an internship offer as a business analyst by BlueThinQ on linkedin. That was the most fulfilling experience for me since I was the sole data vizualisation analyst in the team and the entire end to end BI part of a project was looked after by me. That made me learn a great deal by myself and helped me build my portfolio over a period of 2 months. That is also when I got my first VOTD and that was an experience to remember. Tableau helped me turn my life completely around in just a span of few months. From being a fresh graduate who was lost to learning a new software and know a wonderful datafam around the globe, to getting my first job, all of it can be completely credited to Tableau and it’s amazing community. After being inspired by so many people here and learning so much in my job and internships, I also decided to start my own blog page to help people out like others have helped me on my journey. Being able to help others out has always been my greatest pleasures. I have been teaching students since the last 5 years and now being able to reach out to 1000s online through my blogs and videos/vizzes have been the best thing that happened to me in such a time. I hope to learn a lot more and reach a lot more milestones in my career using this wonderful software and alongside this extremely helpful community.

Jeff Plattner
Hi, there! I’m Jeff Plattner, an Analytics Consultant with DataDrive, a modern analytics consultancy in Minneapolis, MN. My love for data can be traced way back to my childhood in the form of player stats on the backs of sports trading cards. Today, I feel fortunate to be able to combine this life-long love with a more recent passion for data visualization and working with Tableau. I enjoy helping others better see and understand their data so they can make faster, more informed business decisions! When I’m not helping clients solve business problems I’m likely spending time with my family and our shih-tzu, Myla or friends. My wife, our two kids and I love exploring the outdoors. We especially enjoy camping at Minnesota’s many beautiful State Parks. There’s just something wonderful about a day spent hiking, biking or playing in the water, capped off with a peaceful evening around the campfire. If I’m hanging out with friends, we’re probably at a sporting event, concert, catching up at a local brewery or getting in a round of golf. I was first introduced to Tableau during the summer of 2014 through a demo at my (then) workplace. It was while sitting in this demo that everything changed for me. Walking out of the room that day, I was convinced I needed to pursue working with Tableau. A few weeks later, when I learned my company had chosen a different visualization tool I went home that night and officially began my search for “Tableau jobs” via Google. By October, having never used the product before, I had landed my first Tableau role, as a Demand Planning Analyst and have used Tableau on and off (mostly on) ever since. I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be today if it were not for Tableau and Tableau Public. About eighteen months into my role as a Demand Planning Analyst, I made the decision that ultimately led me on the path I’m on today, with DataDrive. My wife and I had recently started a family and I received a job offer that would provide a significant raise. And despite knowing I would not have the option of working with Tableau in this new role, I accepted the offer, because the extra income would allow our family to live more comfortably, given the additional expenses of our little one. Nine months into my new role, it became apparent that I needed to get back to a Tableau-based role. Not only because I loved (and missed) using the tool, but because it allowed me to perform my job to the best of my ability. I knew what was possible with the right tool and now I was missing that dearly. I had learned about Tableau Public a year earlier but hadn’t used it much and only had four visualizations in my portfolio. So, I decided to get more involved in the Tableau Community and set a goal of leveraging Tableau Public to land a new job. Over the next nine months, nearly every night after my daughter and wife went to bed became my “Tableau-time.” I participated in #MakeoverMonday and #SportsVizSunday, while working on personal projects as well. I was having fun, improving my skills, and building my portfolio along the way. The culmination was a Tableau Public portfolio with an additional forty visualizations and a job offer from a consulting firm in Minneapolis, MN. Today, I continue to use Tableau Public as a way to hone my skills, as a creative outlet, and as a source for inspiration. The platform has truly been life-changing.

Martins
My name is Martins Ajakaye, presently studying at the University of Lagos for my Bachelor's Degree in Economics. I've always had a very inquisitive mindset from when I was young. Always wanting to know and get to the root cause of issues. Growing Older and developing my interests in finance and economics, I discovered that there's a better way to approach questions in today's modern world and yes is through answering them with data. As a budding analyst and economist, I'm always faced with business & economic-related questions. Given that we have a lot of assumptions, it's very easy to generalize and assume a lot without looking into what the data say. As W. Edwards Deming famously mentioned in his book: In God we trust. All others must bring data.” Coupled with my inquisitive mindset and my career background, I started my journey into Data Science & Analytics. My journey started with making basic financial models and now I've gone further using business intelligence tools and programming languages. I'm still on a self-discovery journey and constantly learning how to improve and get better in my career pursuit and my personal life. I'm always open to new connections and ready to have conversations with people within and outside my field.

Skyler Chen
Hi everyone! I am Skyler, a second year MORSE student at the University of Warwick. I am from China and I enjoy playing frisbee, listening to hip-hop music as well as watching stand-up comedy in my spare time. I am excited and passionate about data analytics and have found Tableau as an extremetly useful tool to use when it comes to data visualization. My goal as a student ambassador is to spread Tableau around and get more and more people to start using it, help them and myself keep developing data visualization skills and techniques as well as contributing to building a better platform and community for all the Tableau users. Lets do it!

Tasadduq Hussain Mustun
Tasadduq Hussain Mustun is a senior at the University of Mauritius at Réduit where he is majoring in Accounting with a concentration in Finance. His interest in accounting began after completing his Higher School Certificate exams in November 2018 when he worked as an intern at S&S Accounting for 8 months. He was in the role of an Accounts Clerk where filing documents in specified orders, converting unstructured data into structured to create financial reports, and recording transactions in QuickBooks were his main responsibilities. As such, he was introduced to the power of Microsoft Excel and went on learning various facets of this great software like Dynamic Array calculations, Power Pivot, Power Query, Pivot Tables, and Data Visualizations on platforms like YouTube, Coursera, Udemy, and MyExcelOnline. Inspired by these powerful options, in December 2019 he completed the Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst (FMVA) Certification Program, offered by Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), after being generously granted a 45% discount. Excel carries a 17% weightage in the whole FMVA curriculum. Hussain was particularly interested in a core course from this program called “Dashboard and Data Visualization”. The instructor, Tim Vipond, explained the process of building some advanced custom charts such as the Bullet Chart and Gantt Chart. It was also impressive how all charts built were clean and professional. This is what set Hussain on discovering more about data visualization and later he completed two great courses, “Ultimate Excel Waterfall Chart Course” and “Visually Effective Excel Dashboards” by Leila Gharani, a best-selling instructor on Udemy. In his first year at University, he learned Structured Query Language (SQL) in a semester module called Basic Computer Applications. His group assignment was based on Hotel Room Booking Management in which members had to create tables from UNF to 3NF and write SQL queries in Microsoft Access. The assignment was a good experience considering the high cooperation and understanding of his team members. To level up his analytical skills, he decided to enroll in the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate back in April 2021 and immediately fell in love with the formidable visualizations that Tableau provides. Specifically, it was the numerous options on Maps that amazed him the most because, though he loves Microsoft Excel a lot, he admits Tableau has set the bar to another level when developers give the opportunity, among other things, to change map layouts to satellite, streets, black and white in only a few clicks. The following month Commonwealth accepted his application for a scholarship on Udemy to take free courses – “Advanced Tableau for Business Intelligence & Data Analysis” by Maven Analytics and “Tableau 2020 Certified Associate Exam Guide A-Z (w Datasets)” by Kirill Eremenko were great influencers in making data visualization a career option for Hussain. He now has good knowledge of SQL, Excel, and Tableau and his chances of being a data analyst will surely take a boost after being selected to be a 2021 Tableau Student Ambassador. Hussain loves to find success by uplifting others and with the knowledge he will gain by being an ambassador, he believes he will be able to transmit this skill to other people who aspire in becoming data analysts. In the longer term, Hussain is thinking of doing educational videos on YouTube and the likes of Instagram to reach out to an even greater audience. On a more personal level, Hussain loves football and is a huge fan of Manchester United. Reading self-improvement books is also a hobby he finds quite relaxing and recently he has started sketch noting.

Elliott Stam
Here’s something unoriginal but true: I like craft beer. I’m into data too, and now we’ve broken the ice with two cliches. My first real gig was teaching Tableau when I barely knew any Tableau. Luckily that worked out and I learned it well, becoming an analytics consultant at an awesome company called InterWorks. Along the way I wrote the tableau-api-lib library and began authoring tutorial content for my Devyx blog and YouTube channel. Now I’m a data scientist at Adyen working with a team of people smarter than me to build new shopper insights products using absurdly large volumes of data.

Jeremy Harris
I am a Tableau customer and community participant since 2012 (or Tableau 7.0 if you keep time in Tableau) but found myself diving deeper into the APIs as my career evolved from BI Analyst more towards Data Engineer and Analytics Engineer. After unlocking the powers of automation with the Tableau APIs and brushing up on my python skills, I have become obsessed with deploying #DataDev automations to ensure other Tableau developers at my organization can focus on working with customers and building great visualizations. On a normal day, you can find me spending hours developing and testing code to automate processes that can be done manually in 20 minutes. Outside of work, I am a husband, father, and die hard Arsenal fan. You can find me in the nearest pub that is crazy enough to open its doors to EPL fans at 5am in California on a typical Saturday.
