About Me

Hey there! I'm Drake, and if you're curious a little more about me, allow me to share. For me, it's all about uncovering the stories hidden within data, I'm on a mission to dive deep into the numbers, teasing out insights that can make a real geniune impact. But hey, life isn't all spreadsheets and coding enviornments for me. When I'm not crunching numbers, you'll often find me strumming away on my guitar, lost in the world of music. Whether it's jamming with friends or just playing for myself, music is a massive passion of mine that recharges my mental and emotional batteries.

This passion led me to begin my career out of college within the music industry by working at one of the top alternative channels for music publishing administration within the firm’s royalty’s department. In this rapid and constantly changing industry with the invention and devlopment of new technologies, I found myself having to wrestle with some of the challenges that come along with collecting and having to understand massive amounts of data while in this role. This was the beginning of me building up my analytical toolbox to be able to handle any task or answer any question that came my way.

From working with SQL reports to developing Python scripts, and navigating the intricacies of Tableau and Power BI, I began immersing myself in the diverse toolkit of a data analyst. It's a journey that requires both dedication and persistence (much like perfecting a new musical piece). Yet, with each new skill acquired, I feel empowered to unlock deeper insights from data and help drive meaningful change. So, whether I'm wrangling and cleaning messy datasets or crafting captivating visualizations, I approach each new task with the same passion and commitment, fueled by the excitement of discovery and the satisfaction of mastering a new tool.
