RESUME
Dustin Cole
Analytics & Automation Leader
I am a data guy. I am finishing a master’s in data science, but I am not a data scientist. I build pipelines and ETLs most weeks, but I’m not a DBA. I build things, but I’m not an engineer or a developer.
I am over a decade of analytics and BI solutions. I am a person who loves data, loves agentic AI, and loves building beautiful things that derive meaning and understanding from data.
CAREER EVOLUTION

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.
MY OWN PROJECTS
Outside the day job I build things from public data. I’ve built a system where agents write most of the code, do most of the research and validation, and bring me many ideas. I decide what it is worth doing and carry out additional validation.
Most of that code comes out of Claude Code and Codex. The scheduled work runs on a server I call Hermes, where an agent named Barnabas reads and files everything I collect. I drive all of it from a laptop, or from my phone. That's the projects page →
