While Walter’s self-described path through the emerging industry of data science in the late 1990s was anything but straightforward, he firmly believed that SQL did not have to be so daunting for everyone else. Walter’s desire to simplify the learning process eventually led him to start teaching students in a coffee shop in Tribeca, New York, equipped with nothing but a laptop full of SQL learning materials. Since then, his mentorship has turned into its own business: SQL Training Wheels (https://sqltrainingwheels.com). When not teaching students, Walter can be found working on his latest business, Datadecided (https://datadecided.com), a Tableau-based data visualization company that helps medium and large businesses leverage their data with actionable data visualizations.view less
