I'm a data person from Finland. I love working with data, learning new things, and sharing what I learn along the way.
- Data Analysis & Visualization, mainly with R, ggplot2, and the rest of the tidyverse
- Shiny Apps for interactive data applications
- Power BI & DAX for business intelligence
- Machine Learning using tidymodels
- Nowadays I also use Claude Code (like everyone else and their grandma) and Python for some of the projects
- While I don't think that AI is the answer to all our problems, it does make coding easier/faster
- And as mentioned, I like learning new things, which is another reason I've kept an open mind
