From Lisbon to the Global Stage: My Data Analytics Adventure

Hello there! I'm Vasco and I'm thrilled to take you on a journey – my journey in the world of data analytics. It's a story with humble beginnings, a dash of adventure, and lots of data!

The Early Days: Picture this: a young kid in Portugal, wide-eyed at the sight of computers. That was me, thanks to my dad's job in accounting. Fast forward through a Master's in Computer Engineering at IST, Lisbon, and here I am, stepping into the big leagues in IT Consultancy with Capgemini. My first business Intelligence project? A game-changer!

London Calling: Seeking mentorship and bigger challenges, I found myself in London, hired by an amazing Data Analytics Consultancy full of BI Consultant stars. Imagine a sunny Portuguese guy, adapting to London’s fog and the intricate world of banking data analytics. It was tough, but hey, who doesn't love a good challenge?

The Independence Leap: Then came the big leap – saying 'Adios!' to the comfort zone and 'Hello!' to being an independent data whiz. London, New York, big names like Vodafone, Deutsche Bank – the journey had it all. But the best part? Realizing the sheer power of data to transform businesses.

Why It Matters to You: Now, why am I sharing all this? Because it’s not just my story – it’s what I bring to your table. It’s about turning data into your superpower, whether you’re running an SME or leading a team. It’s about making those numbers dance and sing (metaphorically, of course) to help you make smarter decisions.

Join the Adventure: So, whether you're a data newbie or a seasoned pro, let's turn data analytics into your secret weapon. Questions, thoughts, a love for data stories? Drop them in the comments. Let's make data analytics fun and accessible for everyone!
