Welcome! Dig into this week's DataFam Roundup—a weekly blog that brings together community content all in one post. As always, we invite you to send us your content—and the DataFam content from your peers that have inspired you! Find the content submission form here. 

Community Highlight

To recognize new and consistent Tableau contributors—we’re excited to have a section within the weekly DataFam Roundup called the Tableau Community Highlight. Find out how to get involved. 

Sherzodbek Ibragimov, Senior Data Analyst 
Kansas, USA

Sherzodbek Ibragimov is a Senior Tableau Analyst. His journey with Tableau began in 2016, which marked a transformative period for both his career and his organization. Starting as a self-taught new Tableau developer, Sherzodbek initially relied on the Tableau Community Forums for tackling complex cases. Over a few months, he not only mastered his Tableau technical skills but also developed a passion for assisting others with their complex questions. While he enjoyed helping others, his dedication earned him a place among the top contributors on the leadership board, achieving impressive ranks: 23rd for the rolling 12-month period, 71st globally, and 14 out of 15 levels.

More recently, Sherzodbek has shifted his focus to engaging with the DataFam by participating and publishing visualizations on Tableau Public through community projects such as #MakeoverMonday, #B2VB, and #30DayChartChallenge. As a way to give back, he also provides constructive feedback on other submissions on LinkedIn, helping others improve their work and push their creative limits. Additionally, Sherzodbek is involved in speaking opportunities at both virtual and local Tableau User Group events, while also volunteering through free mentorship and viz review initiatives on the Topmate platform.

Connect with Sherzodbek on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
