Hey there!

I’m Rudy, and I absolutely love all things Tableau and data visualization! Whether it’s crafting cool dashboards or discovering new tips and tricks, I’m all in. I’m based in Nashville, TN, and when I’m not driving into data, you can find me cheering on my favorite teams.

Still feel surreal that I was chosen as a Tableau Ambassador!

I was just learning Tableau along with my journey and sharing my dashboards with the public. I never thought it would bring ideas and connections to the Tableau community.

Congrats to all ambassadors!

I have been asked where I learn from when learning Tableau, and I thought it would be a good idea to put my top 5 best resources!

I still use it at work and in my free time.

If you have someone who wants to learn Tableau but doesn’t know where to start, my blog post helps fill that gap.

This is a viz I did on Saquon Barkley’s season and his Madden ratings for the upcoming game, Madden 26.

He had an incredible season in his first season as an Eagle and also won a Super Bowl ring. He obviously had a major impact on the team.

Looking forward to playing Madden 26!

I'm back in my home state after a great Outlier conference in Miami!

I am happy to be part of the volunteer team and assist with the conference's setup and everything.

I had a great time there and was able to explore in Miami.

#Outlier2025 has been great so far, with many perspectives on data visualization. The tools used to display data amaze me; as someone who uses Tableau, it is a good perspective.
