This isn’t the largest workflow I’ve worked on! I built this workflow to perform cash reconciliation, taking data from different vendors who utilize other formats and matching it against the client’s master client list. There are many steps and matching patterns that the process could leverage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62aba06f6533d2396504d97c/069c918e-f51d-4353-a0f9-00e45a1af84a/image+1.png Blog - Getting Started w/ Alteryx Designer - Make it stand out A snippet from the Alteryx Website.

But the grid looks crowded and still not obvious how to keep things aligned and space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62aba06f6533d2396504d97c/c2520df6-67c8-4842-bf06-a8b7396d3315/image+3.png Blog - Getting Started w/ Alteryx Designer - Make it stand out User settings for Localization.

It looks clean but lining it up isn’t straightforward. Yes, it’s true; I can select the tools, right-click and choose: “Align Horizontally,” and then select the tools, right-click and choose: “Distribute Horizontally.” But that’s a total of six clicks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62aba06f6533d2396504d97c/ff4ca7f6-dd4c-4d7e-b7ec-3c3c81cbcb1c/image+10.png Blog - Getting Started w/ Alteryx Designer - Make it stand out Here is a snippet from a workflow that takes free-form text fields and uses RegEx to pattern match, looking for account numbers that match the customer’s master list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62aba06f6533d2396504d97c/3e699ad1-87e9-435a-a5dc-eb1bf8f00127/image+2.png Blog - Getting Started w/ Alteryx Designer - Make it stand out User settings for the Canvas.

I founded this company in 2017 and transitioned to full-time consulting in 2019. Before that, I used to work at a bank. I started as a systems developer but quickly shifted to the role of the manager of branch performance and analytics. In my early days as a consultant, I worked with a firm that specialized in management strategy. We were a global team of clients all around the world, and I played a key role in implementing and supporting successful strategies for our clients. I solve problems and tell stories using data, promoting fact-based decision-making by creating data-driven cultures. I have been doing this for over ten years, working in several industries, most recently with finance, retail, and telecoms. I am passionate about making the world a better place and believe that technology can be used to empower people and promote a healthy work-life balance. With improvements in technology, this is possible, but I still believe in the importance of putting humans at the heart of the data ecosystem because, in the end, technology will only get you so far. Being based out of Barbados, I have primarily worked in the Caribbean and this has provided me with a unique set of challenges. In larger economies, there is enough manpower for each person to handle a single component of a project, but here we do not have this luxury. I am responsible for all aspects of projects including procurement, requirements creation, planning and design, creating the solution, testing and quality assurance, implementation, the final review, and training/ support for end users. This website is designed not only to share my more recent experiences with you but also to educate and inform people about the potential for growth in business in a modern and technological world. With any luck, this will help give you a better idea of how I work, and what I value. Enjoy the read!
