Hi, I'm Mo! I'm a Data & Analytics Manager. I'm all about turning complex, big data into insights and actions. I am not interested in building yet another dashboard that nobody looks at - I'm interested in solving the most challenging business problems using data.

VIDEO SUMMARY
I’ll walk you through the 5 areas that you should definitely consider when you’re faced with a new dataset. These 5 areas include Content & Relevance (e.g., Where's the data coming from, Any potential data biases?), Data Quality (e.g., missing values, duplicates), Data Structure & Types, Outliers (e.g., minimum, maximum), Data Distribution and Summary Statistics (e.g., mean, median, mode, histogram). I’ll give you practical examples using a Google Play Store dataset.
