Hashu, an IT enthusiast, experimented with Tableau after feeling limited with the tedious task of creating reports using Excel and by the lack of reporting functionality in the IT Service Management tool used by his former organisation. From then, reporting was no longer a work task for him; Tableau made data analysis/data visualisation his hobby.

‘Do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life’ – that is exactly what Hashu did. He turned his hobby into a career by jumping head first to apply for a prestigious place at The Information Lab’s Data School.

Outside of work Hashu likes to keep fit by going gym, playing competitive 5 a side football, swimming and running.
