PDXPUG: May meeting in one week

When: 6-8pm Thursday May 17, 2018
Where: iovation
Who: Dylan Hornstein
What: Learning SQL

During this PDXPUG meetup, we will talk about one person's journey to learn
SQL. From joining iovation's Reporting Team without any experience with SQL
or relational databases, to using SQL every day for adhoc data analysis and
bulk data dumps, Dylan Hornstein will talk about his experience getting
familiar with SQL and learning to navigate a relational database, as well
as some challenges and tips he's found along the way. The presentation is
geared towards those starting out in data roles and we will likely expand
into a wider conversation around using SQL and understanding data.

Dylan has been a Data Analyst at iovation for three years now. Having spent
six months as a Client Manager before moving to his Data Analyst role,
Dylan has experience working directly with iovation's clients as well as
working behind the scenes with the data. In his current role, he is
responsible for providing reports, adhoc analysis and bulk data dumps for
clients and internal teams. While Dylan had prior work experience as a Data
Analyst, his move to iovation's Reporting Team came with a steep learning
curve, as he was new to working with SQL and relational databases.
