Thomas Lee Willis -- Data Project Portfolio

About Me

After over 35 years of working in a multitude of industries including Retail, Construction, Manufacturing, Service and Education; I have opted to take the knowledge of all of that experience and apply it into the field of Data Analytics. I have always had a desire to harvest the information that was present in day to day work scenarios and reflect upon the value of the processes that make productivity possible. Now I have decided to take my affinity for technology and data and apply it to the interest I have fostered into understanding how "Work" works in order to bring more value and enjoyment to whatever field I find myself and others working in.
