SQL Stories Ecosystem

Narrative-Driven Sandbox for Analytics

I built this ecosystem to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It’s an end-to-end sandbox for exploring how data is generated, connected, and transformed into action. It serves as both my personal learning lab and a resource for others—a practical roadmap from raw data to compelling stories.

Featured Projects

Dirty Birds Data Generator

This project simulates penguin tagging data for ecological analysis, QA, and model prototyping. Inspired by the Palmer Penguins dataset, it adds custom randomness, messiness injection, and resight logic to better reflect longitudinal field studies.
