Hi, I'm Tristan!
In 2015, I discovered the wonderful world of data visualization with Tableau.
I've traveled around the globe to provide expertize and trainings in many different companies, always focused on data visualization.
In 2017, I won the Iron Viz competition (the ultimate data visualization battle organized by Tableau every year) in Las Vegas in front of more than 10,000 people.
Since then, I help other people with Tableau by making webinars, conferences, blog articles, and, finally, a book Getting Started with Tableau!
