About

My name is Noel and I am currently a BI Data Specialist at Meta and an MBA graduate at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business. Previously, I worked at Tempo, Credit Karma, and the Exploratorium Museum. I build aggregated marketing and go-to-market pipelines, lead projects for engineering initiatives, and hire and train analytics engineers. When I’m not at work, I teach myself technical skills such as Python and R. I am also an avid traveler who loves to cook and take photos wherever I go.
