James Smart | Data analytics and business intelligence
Five years building enterprise reporting and decision-support tools across government and telecom. This portfolio combines reconstructed case studies with live dashboard examples using synthetic or portfolio-safe data.
Featured dashboard work
Two examples are reconstructed from professional experience. Two are portfolio builds created with synthetic data to demonstrate the same end-to-end thinking.
Professional experience
U.S. ArmyReporting took approximately three days to assemble and distribute.
Automated and standardized the process around a governed model and reusable views.
Reduced the reporting cycle to approximately two hours and supported leadership resource decisions.
Professional experience
VerizonRecurring Excel reporting was manual and distributed across multiple business units.
Worked within established Alteryx workflows, transformed and validated data, and delivered stakeholder-ready dashboards.
Reporting supported more than 500 users and materially reduced recurring manual Excel work.
Interview portfolio build · synthetic data
Hyperscale infrastructure PMOProject status lived in disconnected spreadsheets with no forward-looking view or safe customer access.
Designed the requirements, star schema, KPI dictionary, data-quality checks, semantic model, dashboard pages, and security model.
Produced a complete, internally consistent reporting platform specification with seven role-appropriate dashboard views.
Interview portfolio build · synthetic data
Fiber and data-center deliveryProgram leadership needed a single view of schedule recovery, safety signals, and punch-list risk.
Built a focused two-page model around verified program, milestone, safety, and backlog stories.
Created an interview-ready dashboard concept with traceable metrics and three pre-verified operating stories.
How I work

About the samples
Some prior enterprise and government analytics work cannot be shown publicly because of confidentiality. The dashboards here use synthetic, demo, or anonymized structures so the underlying capability is visible without exposing private employer, client, or customer data.
