Tableau Public Dashboards
I occasionally make dashboards as a presentation tool, for teaching and knowledge mobilization. Please visit my Tableau Public page HERE to preview some of the data dashboards I have produced.
In my previous work as a Statistician with Institutional Research and Planning at Humber College I integrated Tableau with R and Python to create dynamic data dashboards to create business intelligence tools for program planners and management. I also connected Tableau with internal data resources to create a real-time workflow within the organization.
