I learned and honed the craft of operational analytics @hubspot where over the course of almost 9 years I was a
- systems analyst
- product manager
- analytics engineer
- data analyst
… the modern data stack emerged at the tail end of my tenure
And I REALLY geeked out 🤓⚡️on the evolution of skills I had developed and tools that were being made to make analysts and analytics engineers even more impactful. 💥☀️
If only I could convince our entire org, which was now over 💯analysts to adopt these new workflows and tools
And so I began my long campaign to win the hearts and minds of analysts and leaders across the org to adopt @getdbt 👻💪🏼🧠💦🤩🤓
🔮 what can i say? sometimes i just know when the future is here and it’s time to participate. It does help when the universe reflects it back 🧬🌈📿
Now let me just help you along with me 🏹and make sure you realize how we have come full circle ⭕️
or what i like to say,

I’m now @getdbt right in the channel of the central nervous system of it all…
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about I'm sure, but don't worry, you will someday.
