Hi Roderick,

Itโ€™s great to see some movement from Google in this Community. For a moment I thought it was forgotten about or being replaced.

Iโ€™ve been living in or near Barcelona for the last three years. Right now I contract for a company called Simplr and studying to become GIS Analyst and cartographer in the future to focus more on geographical data. 

What I would like to get out of Community? To bring it back to former glory first, active moderation, splitting the Data Studio questions to its own place and drive engagement from other Looker users!

Fun? Hiking with GPS, gathering data and then analysing it, dancing salsa, and last but not least: playing pool & snooker..

Hello Iโ€™m heather looking forward to meeting you all and a long journey

Hello all the amazing people !!

I live in Mumbai (India) and have been working on different BI tools for the last 17 years.

Have worked in depth and long duration on Microstrategy and Tableau but also have decent experience on IBM Cognos, SAP BO, Qlik and Power BI . I work as a Google BI Modernization practice lead for an Indian IT service provider  TATA Consultancy Services (www.tcs.com). On learning about range of programmatic approaches to analytics with Looker that contrasts the current trend of "drag and drop" tools, I got hooked to Looker almost 3 years back and have been trying to bring out different use cases using Looker to create practice assets and customer discussions (mostly defending Looker against Tableau).

From this community I would like to come across innovative uses of different Looker capabilities and brainstorm on best practices.

I like singing and wish I was better at it, Love reading about the new technologies.

Hi Ashish Sir,

I have pinged you on tcs teams and need your advice

Hi @Sumitkumar905 - I have replied you in private message. Please check.

Hey Rod,

Thanks for starting this discussion thread!

My name is Ben Kalman. I live in the US, in Boulder, Colorado. Currently, I work on a dedicated data viz team at Merkle. Our main tools are Tableau and Power BI, but I have been working to build out our Looker capabilities. 

I plan to use this community to improve my skills in Looker and stay current on topics pertaining to the tool. 

In my spare time, I am usually outside or trying to keep up with my three year-old. 

Please feel free to connect on LinkedIn. 

Thanks,

Ben
