Charlie Scammell

After studying Game Design and Production Management for 3 years at Abertay University, he began losing interest in the work and decided to look outwith that industry for a new career path, with a chance meeting introducing him to the Tableau community.

Thanks to his background in Game Coding and Graphic Design Charlie quickly became passionate about data and began taking part in online events such as Makeover Monday. After teaching himself everything he could in his spare time he wanted to learn more and applied to the Data School’s DS16 cohort to pursue a full time career in analytics.

DASHBOARD WEEK - DAY FOUR
So Today’s challenge was the ‘No Tableau’’ day of dashboard week, we were given a relatively clean data set from open data.org on Consumer Complaints and told to choose from a list of other visualization software, so the software I chose to use for today’s project was Power BI

DASHBOARD WEEK – DAY 1
To start my morning off I spent half an hour going over the data and pulling out different ideas I thought would be interesting, finally landing on my original idea looking into the highest paying jobs in the design industry

High expectations…Thoughts after my Second day at The Data School (DS16).
My expectations from the Data school Course are very high, listening to others who have been part of the course and words of advice from the core team it seems you will get out of the course what you put into it
