1. My name is Angela Patterson and I work for a company that sells computer hardware and software. Need servers, workstations, or tablets? Need changes to your data center, or backup solutions, or data encryption? Then SHI can help. I work with sales data for the Corp division of this company.

 

2. Favorite weekend activities: practicing guitar (I'm a newbie), playing piano (rusty but competent), and learning more about using analytics

 

3. How I currently use Alteryx: My team unfortunately has a large stack of Excel-based processes for preparing data and creating charts from that data. I'm converting these processes into Alteryx-based and SQL-based processes. I've been blown away by how freakin' FAST Alteryx is compared to Excel. And my team loves the visibility into how the data gets transformed every step of the way. Sometimes I get to do data science and then I use Alteryx for most of the predictive analytics involved in those projects.

 

In the process I'm building a foundation for best practices, like using containers to aid in documenting my workflows. More than that, I've started color coding containers so that one color always means to check input for a potential need to change a file or a text input setting and another color to denote output.

 

4. Areas I'd like to grow: I'd like to get better at building Alteryx formulas so I can munge data even more efficiently. I would like to figure out how to use spatial analysis as an element of analyzing sales data or segmenting customers.

Welcome PJ! I am going to have to reference your favorite weekend activity of "Celebrating the Week" at some point.  It's inspiring and optimistic. Looking forward to the start of the Austin Alteryx User Group Meetings. Hopefully the celebration will get that much stronger with the incorporation of these meetings.

Welcome, @patterson3! "Newbie" and "Rusty but competent" are nuanced and unique ways of describing skill levels. Thanks for the introduction!

Hello Austin Alteryx User Group!

 

My name is Will and I actually work for Alteryx! I've lived in Austin for over ten years and was brought on as a full time remote worker in the Information Security side. I have a house up north near Chinatown Center and in walking distance from the new stadium. My weekends tend to be a mixture of yard work, grilling, and pool parties, and of course as much time as possible with my two rescue chihuahuas (Austin Humane Society FTW).

 

Looking forward to joining this group, participating in the meetings, and making sure all your needs are met and ideas are heard.
