I’m Kyle. I am a VP Lead Software Engineer based in Columbus, OH. I live with my husband, Dan, and our three pets: Jonah and Kevin (dogs) and Willie (cat).

I lead a team of software engineers who specialize in automation for all things data and business intelligence!

My primary wheelhouse is Tableau, Tableau Server/Cloud and its APIs and developer tools. I am honored to be currently serving my second term as a Tableau DataDev Ambassador. I have a passion for making Tableau + Coding more approachable for everyone!

Other areas of concentration/interest:

• Python
• API Development: Django, Celery, etc.
• HTML/CSS
• JavaScript
• ReactJS/VueJS
• Alteryx

Everyone! My hope is to share tips + tricks, deep-dives, hot takes and more covering Tableau, coding, technology/industry trends, etc. — and maybe even some silly stuff here and there!

If there’s a topic you’d like to see covered, please contact me using any of the social media links at the top and bottom of each page!

Outside of work and coding for personal projects, I am an avid video gamer – I gravitate towards RPGs and Action Adventure types, but I’ll never turn down some good ol’ Mario Kart!

Dan and I waste a lot of time keeping up with way too many TV shows, spoiling the pets and spending time with friends whenever we can.

One of my other great passions in life is music – actually, I started adult life as a Music Education major! Life happened, and I wound up where I am now. 😆 I spend just about every free moment I have with Spotify playing. You can keep up with my weekly recommendations via the hashtag #datafamtunes on X (fka Twitter).
