Hello! I am Rod Sardari, a blended array of [BI analyst, GIS lecturer, photographer, and marathon runner].
Welcome to my Data Analytic Repository (RODDAR). Here, I’ll share some tips and learning resources related to geospatial analysis, mapping tips, Geo-AI, and Business Intelligence (BI) tools.
Rod Sardari, GISP, PhD
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE ANALYST
As a member of the City of Plano's GIS and Business Intelligence (BI) team, I have collaborated with our departments to analyze, visualize, and refine data, ensuring the highest quality of information is available for analysis. This BI position involves streamlining data processes by leveraging tools like Tableau Prep, providing clear, actionable insights through dynamic and interactive visual dashboards that drive decision-making and support the city's strategic goals.
Parallel to my analytical pursuits, I teach GIS and BI tools at the University of Texas at Dallas. In the Spatial Data Science course, I help UTD students combine GIS and geo-analytic tools with BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI.
