Independent build-out of Tableau Public dashboards sourced directly from EIA releases — weekly petroleum status reports, crude oil imports by country, SPR stock levels, and natural gas consumption seasonality — plus a Python "data autopilot" pipeline that pre-computes five-year bands and period-over-period deltas ahead of time.

Dashboards & data work

Public Tableau workbooks built directly from EIA source data, with a focus on getting the underlying methodology right — fixed LOD expressions anchored to real dataset maximums rather than fragile date-based calculations, five-year seasonal bands, and tooltip-level provenance for every figure.

Swap the links above for the exact URLs of your published workbooks, and consider embedding one directly with Tableau's embed code in place of the link list — I've left an embed frame below as a drop-in spot.
