About me

Hello. My name is Nicholas Castillo and I am a graduate student in the MSBA program at CSUCI. I currently reside in Simi Valley and work at a small company that specializes in education consulting.

Academic Background

I’m currently pursuing my masters at CSUCI. Interestingly I graduated as a Biology major during my undergrad and was accepted into the MSBA program due to my experience in data management.

Professional Background

I have nearly 1.5 years of experience as a project administrator at STS Education. The companies goal is providing technology and services to school locally and nation wide. I handle customer information, device data, order details and handling the data organization of 2 departments in the warehouse.

Experience with Excel

I have 2.5 year prior experience with excel. I have been using Excel regularly for simple tasks such as budgeting, research, science labs, and general organization. My job requires a strong literacy of Excel mainly to aid in specific requests, searching devices serials, inventory management and aiding in forecasting for stake holders.

Experience with R, Python, PowerBI, & Tableau

I have very prior experience with R but about the equivalent of 3 months of experience in python. I have used R in my Ecology labs for plotting land maps and running a couple very basic visualizations but nothing to complex. I have yet to work with Power Bi or Tableau since beginning this program. I have a decent grasp on data visualization and always enjoy making them.

Experience with other analytic software

I only have had experiance working with the above programs. I have used some visualization packages in python and have tried to use AI to create visualizations. Unfortunately AI visualization never satisfy me so I tend to no use them as much.
