Hi, I'm Michael Tucker Data Analyst

I turn messy data into clear decisions — drawing on a background in fraud detection, operations, and customer support to deliver analysis that actually matters.

An analyst forged at the intersection of data, operations & trust

Before I ever opened a Jupyter notebook, I was deep in the weeds of operations — tracking queues, spotting inefficiencies, and learning how organizations really work. Then customer support taught me to read between the lines of what customers say versus what the data shows. Fraud work sharpened my instinct for anomalies and trained me to think adversarially.

That combination — operational realism, customer empathy, and a fraud analyst's skepticism — makes me a different kind of data analyst. I don't just clean data and build charts. I bring context that most analysts lack, because I've lived in the very systems I'm now hired to analyze.

I'm currently seeking junior analyst roles where I can contribute immediately while continuing to grow. I work in Python, SQL, Excel, and Power BI — and I'm deeply motivated by problems that affect real business outcomes and real people.

Dr. Semmelweis Handwashing Analysis

Replicated and extended the landmark 19th-century analysis by Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, whose handwashing data saved lives — and whose findings were dismissed for decades. Used R to run the same statistical tests and visualize why the data was so compelling, and so tragically ignored.
