Jeffrey Shaffer Portfolio
Tableau Visionary Hall of Fame inductee (1 of 36 worldwide) and co-author of "The Big Book of Dashboards"; now Director of an Applied AI Lab, his site and Kaggle profile bridge classic BI dashboard craft with newer AI-assisted analytics.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
Co-authoring a widely-used dashboard design reference book
"The Big Book of Dashboards" required distilling years of dashboard critique into a teachable, generalizable framework, not personal preference.
Hall of Fame induction as rare, capped peer recognition
One of only 36 worldwide inducted is an explicitly limited, vendor/peer-nominated honor, harder to dismiss than a self-description.
Bridging classic BI craft into current AI-assisted analytics
Moving into directing an Applied AI Lab while maintaining a Kaggle presence shows the portfolio adapting to where analytics work is heading.
What Data Analysts can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
Turn repeated design critique into a written framework.
Pursue platform-specific vendor recognition where genuinely earned.
Keep learning adjacent skills as the field shifts and show that evolution in your portfolio.
Publish critiques of others' dashboards to show evaluative rigor, not just your own output.
