Hi there, I'm Max Renner. I use he/him pronouns and live and work in Minneapolis, Minnesota as a data analyst. Aside from work, I parent two young boys, a cat, and a dog. I also like to tinker with just about anything.

As a data analyst I use a lot of SQL, R, and Docker. Sometimes I write Python, but only if I have to. As I find myself presenting more to non technical audiences, I've grown to love revealjs slides in Quarto presentations.
I once had to know Excel inside and out. Not the most useful language for version control or data science in general. This led me to more actively seek out other projects to work on and document. However, I can now coerce Excel to do a lot of things it probably shouldn't, between the Windows API, VBA, PowerShell, and node.js.
