Starting my Data Analyst Journey

I’m super excited to share that I’ve officially kicked off my journey into the world of Data Analytics .Only two weeks ago, I enrolled in the Lux Dev Bootcamp, and it has been a enriching experience so far its been an enriching ride. I'm currently deep into by week 2, with a focus on solidifying the foundations of Excel and SQL the pillars of any strong data analysis workflow. Why data analysis? Data surrounds us, and I've always asked myself how uncooked data can tell such strong stories. Is it finding insights, making more informed decisions, or just addressing real issues—data is the key to them all. That's what I was drawn to it. What I'm Learning Right Now Excel: From pivot tables to formulas, I'm learning to manipulate and analyze data like a pro. SQL: I’m building up my querying skills—getting comfortable with SELECT statements, filtering data, and joining tables to extract meaningful insights. Power BI: I’ve started exploring how to bring data to life through interactive dashboards and visual storytelling—it's a game changer! Putting Skills Into Practice Right now, I’m working on a sales data project, a fast food shop selling pizza to be specific, which is helping me apply what I’ve learned in a real-world context. I’m analyzing trends, identifying key metrics, and working my way toward building my very first dashboard! It's exhilarating , but there's nothing quite like seeing raw data come to life visually. I can't wait to post the finished product soon! What I'm Finding Enjoyable about the Bootcamp is the hands-on learning not theory only—we're doing hands-on exercises and real case studies. Additionally, we're all in the same situation, and there's just such encouragement and collaboration. Furthermore, each week is an improvement on the last one, and I can already feel my confidence growing. My Goals Mastering Excel, SQL, and data visualization tools Completing more real-world projects and case studies Building a good data portfolio Landing my first job as a junior data analyst Stay curious, continue learning, and enjoy the ride with this amazing tech community Let's make data fun!
