Hello! My name is Kevin Tankersley, and I'm a Data Analyst. This is my little corner of the web - a space to connect with friends, a soapbox to rant on, and a presentation of my professional interests. Speaking of which...

I'm interested in InfoTech, which is all about data. Data to explore, data to analyze, data to leverage. If the standard business channels weren't pulling in enough data already, just look at what's coming in through the web and over social networks - and this is just a trickle compared to what we'll be generating in a few short years.

I'm interested in Decision Support Systems. Warehousing and BI have really come into their own, and it's an exciting time to be a modeler/developer/analyst in the DW/BI space.

I'm interested in Analytics. Statistical modeling will surely sculpt the insights we are able to draw from our ever-increasing loads of online and offline data.

Finally, I'm interested in Integrated Marketing. Online channels are especially interesting, as they offer rich performance metrics and analytics. Marketing strategy is really where the rubber meets the road with enterprise data analysis, and it's an exciting area in which to leverage the systems, data, and modeling all at once.
