Hi, I’m Ross Carhart — a data strategist and analytics engineer with a passion for turning messy, complex data into powerful business insights. I’ve helped brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, GNC, Doner Media, and TruFood Mfg build scalable data pipelines, uncover actionable marketing insights, and save millions through better reporting and automation. At Abercrombie & Fitch, I currently lead the development of customer data models that support marketing, decision science, and product teams. Before that, I consulted with national brands like McDonalds, Owen's Corning, CableOne, and others at Doner Media, grew GNC’s subscription business by 200%, and helped factories run more efficiently. I’m fluent in SQL, Python, and Git, and I work with tools like Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, and Azure. Beyond the technical work, I enjoy mentoring analysts and building systems that make data easier (and faster) to use.
