Hello. I am Antanas Baltrušaitis an experienced business and data analyst. I have over 14 years of experience providing impactful business insights and building end-to-end analytic solutions (automating reporting, building analytic tools and calculators, BI and database development).

I consider myself an analytics generalist, I can discuss both business strategy with the CEO and optimal data architecture with the data engineer.

2020 - now
Back to the roots
