Welcome to the Community - Introduce Yourself!

Hi Everyone, my name is Angelie Janssen and I am your new community manager for the Pyramid Analytics Community.  I am very excited in this new role and to connect with you all 😊

I believe that a good connection starts with sharing a little about yourself – where you  come from, what you do, and what you enjoy outside of work.  So let me start by introducing myself!

I am based in the US, and currently reside in Utah.  I have been in the analytics space since 2005, and have been with Pyramid Analytics since 2020 in both pre and post sales capacity.  In the last 2 years, I have been focused on developing courses for our customers in the LMS, and working with our partners.

Outside of work, I like to spend most of my time outdoors hiking, snowboarding, running, cycling, and checking things off my list like skydiving or get my husband and friends to do challenging treks in the mountains.  I also like to read and travel, and for the most part, spend time with our dogs.

I look forward to interacting with you all in this community we’re building together.  Working with our customers and looking for ways to enhance user experience in the community is my priority from here on out.  So please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, questions, and your awesome ideas to make this community better than it already is.

Let’s keep this thread going – please do a quick introduction!  I am excited to hear from all of you, and learn more about what you do, your experiences and unique stories in this thread 😊

PS: 10 people will be chosen randomly to get some Pyramid Analytics swag!

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Natalie. I've been at DataOrbis for just over 8 years and have been using Pyramid Analytics for a little over 4 years. I love getting stuck into weird and wonderful calculation problems and finding creative solutions for our clients.

    I live in Cape Town, South Africa. My husband and I are new parents, our daughter is 5 months old and is such a happy little girl. Our family also consists of a feisty young Rottweiler named Ruby (  - your two Rotties are stunning). Since I've seen several pet photos - I've attached a photo of our Ruby.

    When I'm not working, you'll find me looking after my baby girl, walking our doggie, reading a book, braaing with friends or just trying to catch up on some sleep.  

    Thanks,

    Natalie

      I am sure we could share some stories around the cleverness of rotties! Here is a bit of our shrine from 2024 in dog shows. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=959571565953974&id=100057034196722&_rdr

       It's good to see you here, and Ruby too!  I hope the adjustment back into work life is going well for you :)  We are looking to organizing an in-person meetup in your area around September!  We hope to see you there, more details to come as it gets closer :)

    Hello!! I'm also super excited to learn and interact. The knowledge of some > knowledge of one. My name is Wendy and I am an Informatics Specialist by day and dreamer of Data Analytics Specialist by night...lol. I am looking forward to leveling up. I logged in the explore.pyramidanalytics today and my previously used source was not available. Anyone else experience this? 
    As a little background, I was completing Level One, Discover of the Professional Certification Courses. Up until Use Case 8, I was able to use Sales Data but had to change to Demo Sales I think. Not really sure if I did it correctly as it was still missing two measures.

       Welcome to the community Wendy, happy to have you here!  I love that you are self-proclaimed dreamer of Data Analytics ;)  How long have you been in the space?  What do you enjoy most about what you do?  Any fun hobbies or interests outside of analytics?  let's hear it 😉

      I am going to tag  here to see if they have some idea of what might be happening!

      Hi  

      Sorry to hear your issues with performing your training on Explore, I've looked into this, it seems like you may have been performing the training on a database that has been removed. The database you need to use for the training is below 

      the correct data source is the Sales model in the Training Models (2023) database. I have taken the time to perform the data source change so that you can continue your training.

      If you have any further issues, please let me know.

      Thanks

      Mark

       Welcome to the community Lloyd!  First, thank you for your service :)  It looks like you are the second community member this week who is pursuing a career in cybersecurity -  being the other one.  Perhaps you two can also connect on this common ground 🙂  And what a beautiful place to live in to be able to pursue your degree as well as do all the fun things with your son, I am certainly jealous!

      I'm excited to learn more and see how you are also finding how Pyramid is helping you with your role and how you'll be applying it in the future.  Keep connecting and sharing within the community, we like learning from each other!

    Hi everyone! 👋

    I'm Joseph, currently pursuing a Master's in Cybersecurity at Leeds Beckett University 🇬🇧. I’m passionate about information security, ethical hacking, and machine learning—particularly how AI can be used to predict and prevent cyber attacks 🛡️🤖.

    Something fun about me: I enjoy exploring new cities, trying out street food, and I'm always up for a tech podcast or a late-night Linux config session! 😄

    I’m here to connect with like-minded professionals, share knowledge, learn from your experiences, and grow both personally and professionally. Looking forward to some insightful discussions and collaborations!

    Cheers! 🚀

       Welcome welcome - I love all of it!  Cybersecurity is such a great space to in now, and with AI, I can only imagine the things that could be done in the future :)  If you have any interesting stuff you're working on at the new university that you'd like to share here, let's work together.  I think many would find it quite fun to learn more about your space + AI together so any knowledge you can share, I/we am/are all ears here at the community 🙂

      I like exploring new cities too, but not late-night Linux config sessions 😂  Either way, I bet there's another person here in the community that does enjoy that too lol.  

      Welcome again and we're happy to have you here!
