Mason Walters

Twelve years building the data and analytics that finance and operations teams run on — as an analyst, a data engineer, and a BI director, depending on what the problem needed. Today I'm an Analytics Engineer at SonarSource, building out go-to-market analytics as the data team's first US hire.

What that looks like in practice: cutting a BI bill 30%, taking month-end P&L from two days to two hours, and deleting 300+ dashboards to make the survivors faster.

Open to select consulting — warehouse + dashboards, BI cost reduction, governance cleanup.
