Hello data friends, and welcome to Data on Wheels! This is our little corner of the internet where we share stories, tips, and lessons learned from life in the world of data. You’ll find posts on everything from Power BI and Microsoft Fabric to SQL Server, Excel, and recaps from awesome events always with a focus on making data more approachable and useful.
What makes this space unique is that it’s not just about the tech that we know and love. It’s about the people, the challenges, and the everyday wins that come with working in this field. Sometimes we’ll dig into the details of a tricky data problem, and other times we’ll share personal reflections on accessibility, community, and what it means to keep learning.
Fair warning, by entering this blog, you agree to encounter an above-average number of puns, groan-worthy dad jokes, and possibly some pictures of the data community hanging out!
We’re glad you’re here! Together we’ll ride the wheels of discovery until you’re not just following the dragons you are one.
