Hi there, and welcome to my very first blog post! I’m so excited that you’ve found your way here, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you. Whether you’re a seasoned data professional, a curious learner, or someone who just loves exploring the possibilities of technology, I hope you’ll feel right at home.
Who Am I?
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Brad Trnavsky, and I’m a results-driven professional with over a
decade of experience helping businesses thrive through data-driven strategies. My background spans logistics, project management, sales, and marketing, giving me a unique perspective on how businesses operate and how data can unlock their full potential.
Right now, I’m at an exciting crossroads in my career: transitioning from the business and operations side of the game to the technical side. For years, I’ve been using data to inform business decisions and drive operational excellence. But as I’ve worked alongside technical teams—building dashboards, analyzing trends, and solving complex problems—I’ve realized how much I love diving deep into the technical tools and processes that make it all possible.
This transition is both challenging and rewarding. It’s about taking my years of business experience and combining it with technical skills like SQL, Power BI, predictive modeling, and more. It’s a journey of growth, learning, and stepping outside my comfort zone—and I’m excited to share that journey with you here on this blog.
What This Blog Is All About
This blog is my little corner of the internet where I’ll share my passion for data analytics, business intelligence, and technology. Here’s what you can expect to find:
Tools & Resources: Reviews and recommendations for tools that make working with data easier and more effective.
Tips & Tricks: Practical advice for tackling common challenges in data analysis and visualization.
Projects & Experiments: A behind-the-scenes look at the projects I’m working on in school or just for fun—because sometimes the best way to learn is by playing with technology!
Insights & Ideas: Thoughts on how data can drive success in business and beyond.
Stories from the Field: Lessons learned from my years in logistics, project management, sales, and marketing—and how those experiences shape my approach to analytics today.
My mission is simple: to make data accessible, actionable, and inspiring for everyone. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been working with data for years, I want this blog to be a place where we can learn from each other and grow together.
Why I Started This Blog
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of data, not just as numbers on a screen but as stories waiting to be uncovered. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how insights hidden in complex datasets can drive meaningful change. But I’ve also seen how overwhelming it can be to get started in this field.
That’s why I created this blog: to share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) in a way that’s approachable and fun. Whether it’s breaking down complex concepts into simple steps or sharing my successes (and failures), my goal is to make this space as helpful and engaging as possible.
And as someone transitioning into the technical side of analytics, I hope this blog will also inspire others who are considering a similar leap. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to combine business expertise with technical skills—or if you’re navigating your own career pivot—I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is!
Let’s Connect!

Leave a comment below, send me an email, or connect with me on LinkedIn. Let’s share ideas, learn from each other, and explore how data can unlock new possibilities.
Thank you so much for stopping by! This is just the beginning of what I hope will be an exciting journey. Be sure to check back often for new posts about tools, tricks, projects, experiments, and maybe even some surprises along the way.
Here’s to making data fun, accessible, and impactful!
