Little Oak Childcare

This dashboard was built using synthetic AI-generated data from a fictional daycare, Little Oak. While the insights aren’t real, it showcases my Tableau skills -- including interactivity, design clarity, and effective use of tooltips to communicate key information.

Queensland Fire Department

This dashboard was created as part of a personal project to explore Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) incident data. The goal was to identify meaningful patterns, highlight key operational metrics, and demonstrate how visual analytics can support emergency response planning and performance tracking.Data was sourced from QLD Fire’s open datasets and processed using PostgreSQL, Python, and Tableau. It includes suburb-level analysis, incident volume over time, resource deployment patterns, and callout types. One of the standout findings was the dramatic increase in service demand during natural disasters, which aligned with historical events like Cyclone Oswald.This project was built independently to showcase my interest in the data analyst role with QFES.
