Vizual Insight

This blog is all about using data visualization to transform data into insight. My topics will not rival rocket science, although data science is so much sexier anyway. My goal is to pay forward the lessons I have learned. Whether you are just getting started or well into your journey, I hope the best practices, techniques and otherwise will be helpful as you bring your data stories to life. THANKS to all the pioneers who have paved the path. The credit goes to you! #datavizfamily

About Me

My photo
Kevin A. Taylor
Raleigh, NC, United States
I consider myself to be extremely blessed. Aside from my family life which always comes first, I am extremely passionate about using visualization to better understand our world. While I feel I have a lot to offer back to the community, I am definitely still a student of the game. As for my background (aka credentials): I have worked in BI Reporting & Analytics for 15+ years including a couple major Tech companies. I have administered, trained and developed with most of the big Enterprise BI Platforms but currently leverage Tableau to explore and showcase insight. I chair the advisory board for WTCC Business Analytics Program and speak at events as often as possible (TUG, TAAG, TDWI, etc.)
