@celsiadass
I build trusted institutional reporting, dashboards, and data quality workflows.
What I'm looking for
At New Mexico State University, I write SQL, build Power BI and Tableau reporting, and reconcile facility usage and service data before it reaches administrators. I also support more than 100 faculty and student researchers using the Discover HPC cluster.
I've used cohort analysis across 18+ program offerings to shift reporting from participation volume to retention, and I've corrected inconsistent demographic data that invalidated year-over-year comparisons. I care about reliable definitions, validated data, and reporting that helps people act on the right number.
