@austingarrett
Data analyst specializing in forecasting and dashboard creation.
What I'm looking for
With a robust background in data analysis and technical sales, I have honed my skills in forecasting, dashboard creation, and process automation. Currently, I serve as a Senior FP&A Data Analyst at Liberty Safe, where I leverage economic indicators to forecast sales and expenses using advanced statistical models like ARIMA and ETS. My expertise in Tableau allows me to create dynamic dashboards that provide critical insights for sales, operations, and executive teams.
Previously, I worked as a Data Science Analyst at Brigham Young University, where I engineered dashboards that presented graduation outcomes to academic leaders. My collaborative approach to modeling strategies for student retention has significantly contributed to data-driven decision-making. I have also trained and directed student employees in Tableau, enhancing their analytical skills and fostering a culture of learning.
My experience extends to roles in commissions analysis and auditing, where I successfully managed projects and delivered custom solutions for clients. I am passionate about using data to drive business success and am committed to continuous learning, currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Data Science from Georgia Tech.
