About Me.
Hello! I'm Miguel, a Data Analyst with an interest in uncovering the stories hidden behind data. Originally from Portugal, I moved to the United States in 2016, and have found it a great pleasure and privilege to live within a different culture and to learn from different people from all backgrounds.
With a knack for turning complex data into actionable insights, I'm all about crafting reports that sing and visualizations that pop. Transitioning from sales and marketing, I possess a unique advantage in interpreting data with a business-oriented and service-minded approach.
My mission? To leverage the power of data to drive real change and innovation. Whether it's uncovering hidden insights or shaping data-driven strategies, count me in for making waves in the field!
When I'm not caught up in data, you'll find me lost in the pages of books (anything from Aldous Huxley to Walter Isaacson), and staying physically active (experienced tennis player, rookie boxer). I also love to explore new corners of the world, with over 10 countries checked off the bucket list and more to come.
