If you are a data, SQL and NBA nerd then this is the preview video for you. I recently analyzed the 2018 NBA Draft by vibe-coding with Windsurf and testing the agentic IDE's SQL capabilities.

I had fun editing these snippets from the second entry in my Advanced Tableau Dashboard Build series.

In the full length sequel (for members of my channel), I tackle the meticulous container approach it takes to complete the dashboard build we started in part 1.

I've worked in organizations that have needed more SQL processes than Excel spreadsheets.

But I've never worked at an organization where they've needed more Excel spreadsheets than SQL processes.

When to use SQL:
✔ Handling Large Datasets
✔ Automating Processes
✔ Ensuring Data Security

I’m happy to share with my network that I’ve been accepted into The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University to pursue a Master's degree in Quantitative Management - Business Analytics.

I enjoy data analytics and there is always something new to learn.

I attended SQL Saturday Atlanta and got to observe my talented Protiviti teammates Jeff Levy and Vernon Gomes in action. They gave an informative presentation on the pros and cons of using a #Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse vs. using a Fabric Warehouse.

Godspeed President Carter.

He was easily the most moral, selfless and decent president in history.

I was extremely fortunate to meet him when I was a graduate student at Georgia Tech years ago.

Yet another new pair of JMM Enzos. This is the Sabre colorway, number 340 of 500.

These black and reds will look good at #ClarkAtlantaUniversity homecoming!

Writing SQL is rarely just about writing the syntax.
Anyone can write a query that returns data.
But writing effective SQL that returns the correct data?

That can be a real challenge.
