Jonathan MacDonald, Solutions Engineer at The Information Lab and Coach at The Data School
London, UK
Jonathan MacDonald is a Solutions Engineer at The Information Lab and Coach at The Data School. He stays active in the Tableau Community by posting tutorials on YouTube and co-hosting the Global Tableau Server & Cloud Virtual User Group.
Jonathan began using Tableau in 2011 through the company he was working with at the time. Before using Tableau, he spent a significant amount of time working with spreadsheets but after learning Tableau, the laborious activity went from taking him almost a full day’s work to about five minutes. This stark improvement motivated Jonathan to continue his Tableau journey and believe in the power of Tableau.
On YouTube, Jonathan shares Tableau tips and tricks with inspiration from the Community Forums, User Groups and Whatsapp chats, and through his own personal conversations with Tableau users. He focuses on hacks and tips related to Tableau Server and Cloud and chooses to share his knowledge this way because he believes it is easier to explain complex concepts in a more hands-on way. Especially after focusing on sharing his knowledge through blogs in the past, Jonathan now believes that videos are better suited to achieve his teaching goals.
Connect with Jonathan on Linkedin, Twitter, and Tableau Public, and check out his YouTube channel.
