Welcome to Data with Luis!


My name is Luis, and I'm a Data Analyst with over a decade of experience in the tech industry. I have a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems and a Graduate Certificate in Advanced Analytics, which has helped me build a strong foundation in data analysis and decision-making.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in various roles in tech, from being a data analyst to leading a team of analysts. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the importance of data in making informed business decisions.

As a data analyst, I specialize in helping businesses turn data into insights. I have used Tableau, Tableau Prep, Alteryx, PowerBI, Python, and Excel to uncover hidden patterns and trends in data, providing businesses with the information they need to make better decisions

My mission is to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today's data-driven world. I believe that data is the key to unlocking business success and that everyone can benefit from understanding and using data effectively.

That's why I created Data with Luis, a platform where you can access a range of resources to break into data analytics or improve your skills. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, my videos and articles cover everything from data visualization to advanced predictive modeling.

If you're looking to pivot your career into data analytics or improve your analytics skills, you've come to the right place.

You can watch this video to learn more about why SQL is so important for a Data Analyst.  Below are my favorite FREE  SQL learning resources: SQL for Data Analysis | Free Courses | Udacity : This free course from Udacity covers everything a beginner Data Analyst should know. It covers SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE), Joins, Aggregations, Data Cleaning, and Window Functions. It has a mix of video and written lectures along with quizzes to help you master the content.
