Kasia Fernandes, Data Analyst & Tableau Expert

Zurich, Switzerland

Kasia Fernandes is a Data Analyst and Tableau Expert. She considers Tableau her go-to tool for building complex, dynamic dashboards, automating reports, and analyzing data. Kasia first encountered Tableau while working in HR, where she was tasked with recruiting a Tableau Developer, which sparked her interest in transitioning from HR to Data Analytics. She began learning Tableau through online tutorials and on-the-job experience, and is now actively involved in the Tableau Community though the Zurich Tableau User Group and sharing blogs on her Medium site, finding it to be a source of inspiration, learning, and networking.

After realizing that her HR team lacked data-driven insights, Kasia transitioned from HR to data analytics. She volunteered to clean up and analyze HR data, discovering her passion for data analysis. She shares her Tableau knowledge through her workplace role, which includes troubleshooting and delivering training sessions. She is excited about the future and the impact of AI.
