About

I explain
data tools.

For over twelve years, I have built analytics solutions, broken them, migrated between every major platform, and learned which promises hold up. just-tim is where I share the honest version, the bit the vendors leave out, and the stuff each tribe hates to admit. No sides, just one agenda: helping you learn what you need to and sharing that experience along the way. I firmly believe opportunity can help anyone achieve great things, so my hope is that my content extends opportunities to you in the same way my career has extended them to me.

What people say

I don't know how I managed to watch over five hours of video, including pausing, reversing and forwarding the course, so I would give this guy 10/10. Great stuff.
Thanks for this course and all your other work! I was able to pass my certification exam in large part due to studying this video and some of your others. You are an excellent teacher and I look forward to learning more from you as my Tableau skills grow.
I could listen to Tableau Tim all day. It's quite remarkable how I can sit through Tim's videos and not feel fidgety. Content 10/10 Delivery 10/10
