RESUME
Dustin Cole
Analytics & Automation Leader · MS, Data Science
About a decade of analytics at a major utility. Most of the job is unglamorous: fix the broken report, replace the manual work, get the team to an answer faster. The systems below are the ones that stuck.

SKILLS & STACK
Data Platforms & Engineering
Most of my work sits between raw operational systems and the reporting layers people actually use. SQL, Snowflake, Oracle, SAP, SSMS, Python, and R to move, clean, transform, validate, and structure data for analytics, monitoring, and executive reporting.
BI, Reporting & Analytics Products
Reporting environments that function less like static dashboards and more like operational tools. Power BI platforms, paginated reports, KPI decks, semantic models, map-based analysis, used by analysts through VPs.
Modeling, Monitoring & Automation
Models and monitoring systems built for daily operations. Anomaly detection from real system baselines. A heat forecasting model using Poisson regression with Monte Carlo simulation on top. Both run in production.
Leadership & Operating Model
Analytics work led from problem definition through adoption. Developing analysts, setting priorities, building roadmaps, and making sure the work connects to operational decisions.
Systems Implemented
Across healthcare, supply chain, power generation, and meter operations. The common thread: turning new enterprise systems into usable processes, reporting, and decision support.
AFTER HOURS
Then the AI tools got good. Not demo-video good. The kind where you hand a system a messy problem at 11pm and it holds up. So I started building things I had no business building. That's the projects page →
