Burcu graduated with a Masters degree in Big Data and Business Intelligence from University of Greenwich, specialising in Analytics. In this time, Burcu discovered Data Visualisation and became fascinated by the game changing possibilities offered by Tableau. Her excitement for the subject led her to join The Information Lab (TIL) in June 2021.
While learning from a team of experts, she became a specialist in both Tableau and Alteryx. The role allowed Burcu to combine her technical skills, her keen eye for design and the desire to make businesses more evidence-driven.
Throughout her time at TIL Burcu has supported Quotient Sciences and Commonwealth Informatics- well renowned pharmaceutical companies- and Natwest bank. Some of her responsibilities included:
- Server Admin: advisor on content management and organisation
- Building and organising data sources for a coherent, single source of truth
- Training and developing a permanent resource to sustain best practices
- Product Owner responsible for maintenance of an embedded analytics solution which earned revenue for the client
- Development and solution assurance in a very complex stakeholder environment
More recently, Burcu has expanded her skill set by exploring concepts of design using tools like Figma, to take into consideration the user experience and accessibility of dashboards.
Outside of this, Burcu enjoys helping her colleagues solve problems and supporting newer trainees.
