I had the opportunity to work with Tyler while working on a Tableau project at Kroger. The BI project we were working on included complex dashboards that created headaches from a performance perspective along with server-related issues. With Tyler’s vast knowledge of Tableau, we were able to optimize the performance of the dashboards and reduce any redundancy that existed. He was quick to whiteboard a solution, sold it to the tech team of ETL developers, and then sold it to a group of 20 savvy business consultants. It was the first major push for Tableau in Kroger, and we would not have been successful with our deadline if it wasn’t for Tyler’s solutions and leadership. I cannot thank Tyler enough for his help onsite with Kroger. I would highly recommend Dev3lop to anyone seeking technical help.
Kroger
Quick engagement highlights
Tyler provided Tableau consulting, data engineering consulting services, and data warehousing consulting onsite in Ohio, at Kroger’s HQ.
Kroger, a company with 300,000 employees, to help them upgrade their Tableau Server and engineer high-exposure reports in Tableau Desktop. He worked with a diverse team of developers, data architects, database administrators, Tableau developers, and business analysts to ensure that the project was completed smoothly and without downtime.
During his time onsite at Kroger’s Ohio headquarters, Tyler spent several weeks working closely with the team to understand their requirements and data relationships, and helped to architect multiple data sources into a single, easy-to-understand data model. He provided hands-on development support to the ETL team and front-end developers, and worked with Tableau Server administrators to upgrade, maintain, and automate administrative scripts.
Tyler also helped to mitigate Tableau Server errors by working closely with IT managers, environment admins, and network engineers, and he established simple workflow algorithms to avoid break-fix stops. With the Assistance of Tyler, Kroger created the first major Tableau dashboards for executives, directives, and their direct reports, plus provided support to multiple Tableau developers and ETL professionals during two consecutive sprints. Kroger was so pleased with his work that they requested that he stay on for additional time to further improve the success of their Tableau products. Tyler also assisted with re-designing pricing dashboards in mini sprints.
