Abuja, Nigeria

Jonathan Akpogbo Chris is a Data and Business Intelligence Analyst. He got started with Tableau through an online bootcamp where he learned the basics but his curiosity was sparked when he started to explore Tableau Public and get inspired by other creators and their visualizations. Jonathan self-taught himself from community produced content like YouTube videos and blogs, and through hands-on experience building vizzes.

Now, Jonathan is involved with the Lagos Tableau User Group, publishes vizzes on Tableau Public, and participates in community projects like Makeover Monday and Back to Viz Basics. He enjoys participating in the Lagos TUG because it allows him to get connected with users of all skill levels and connect with others within his community.
