Craig Steven

After graduating from Southampton Uni taking Marine Biology with Oceanography, Craig worked as an Aquarium Technician for a short period. After he moved to a more data focused role as a GIS technician but didn’t want to limit himself to just spatial and after finding TIL and using Tableau found it a lot more enjoyable than GIS.

At Southampton he was involved heavily with data and still wanted to utilise and develop these data analysing skills but move away from the scientific sector. TIL ticked all the boxes for him with the use of Tableau to make visualising and analysing data much more dynamic. In his spare time Craig enjoys mountain biking, hockey and Video games.

Being a project manager for a week
Having no previous experience as a project manager I didn’t really know what to expect from this week and was just faking it until I made it. Looking back there is a lot I would do differently if I were to project manage a second time

Parameter Actions Highlighter Hack
When ever i am using set or parameter actions when i click on my measure to change my action it highlights the text and can sometimes mean that you need to click twice to change the parameter. There is nothing more annoying than having to click twice to change your parameter
