Gleb Makarenko

Gleb Makarenko began using Tableau in 2018 and quickly fell in love with how intuitive and easy to use the software was. He was able to easily adapt to its interface and create powerful visualizations. That is when he decided to get certified on Tableau software in order to receive proper credentials that he could use on his resume, as well as learn about the intricacies of the software that he wasn't using at the time. With a bit of effort and research, Gleb was able to complete the examination. And he recommends the same to anyone who is serious about working with Tableau.
