A data geek's list of things he's thankful for...
With Thanksgiving upon us folks here in the states tomorrow, I thought I'd list out a few of the data related things I'm thankful for:
My team: Enterprise Data Operations Team
Both my direct reports and the rest of the team here at my shop are fantastic. My company's website lists my immediate team's credentials as follows: "Managing data from more than 2,000 sources and creating reports essential for business decision requires laser-focused attention to detail, commitment to data quality and unwavering dedication to data privacy. Our enterprise data operations team represents more than 85 years of data management excellence, with in-depth knowledge in a variety of database systems across various industries. This training and experience enables our team to integrate data from various sources into a centralized database of record, ensuring that clients’ data is accurate and accessible when they need it the most."
My "online friends"
New to me this year is the relationship I've made with some kindred spirits in the online "data world". I've found following these folks on Twitter and reading their blogs has changed the way I work. Finding inspiration from folks who are working on very similar problems perhaps even brought back some of the fun for me into this crazy niche world of data I find myself in each day.
My "going against my inner introvert self"
I've really made an attempt in the last year or so to branch out socially and I'm very thankful for it. More details are:
My "technology stack"
Second to last I'm thankful for this silly little blog. It's fun posting things of interest out here, seeing "what sticks" and how I may have helped or intrigued other folks.
Lastly of course I'm thankful for a great family, my health and the health of my wonderful family.
Until next time...Rich
