Anastasiya Kuznetsova, Senior BI Developer at Nebius

Dubai, UAE

Anastasiya Kuznetsova is a Senior BI Developer at Nebius. Her Tableau journey began in university, where she was introduced to it as a data visualization tool. This initial exposure quickly turned into a passion, leading her to teach the same subject to first-year students after graduation, which prompted a deeper dive into the software.

She is now actively involved in the Tableau Community, valuing its open, friendly, and supportive nature, which allows for global learning and connections. Anastasia shares her knowledge and discoveries through a Sunday newsletter that curates useful materials, dashboards, and vizzes, focusing on diverse business dashboard design. She also writes about BI and data visualization, with one of her most popular posts on dashboard design principles being DataViz 101: Key Principles for Crafting Clear Dashboards. A key part of Anastasia’s learning journey has been participating in community projects such as Makeover Monday, her focus now is to share her knowledge with others through Linkedin and her newsletter.

Connect with Anastasia on Linkedin, Tableau Public, and on her website.
