Joe Kernaghan

Joe graduated from The University of Warwick with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering but was not enthused at the thought of designing heating systems, or gear trains. He was looking to apply the problem solving and analytical skills that he had developed throughout his course in a variety of fields. When he came across the data school he was intrigued by the application process, and after downloading tableau he was hooked. He thought it was the perfect combination of analysis and creativity, and has since dedicated his time to mastering the program. Outside of work Joe enjoys many sports and runs a successful social media page.
