About Emily Nelson

Data & Analytics Engineer who loves building data systems that help teams move faster and make better decisions.I started in Spanish Language & Literature before finding my thing in data. Over the past five years, I’ve gone from learning SQL and Python on my own to designing full data ecosystems for Finance, Marketing, and Accounting teams. I’ve worked on everything from ETL pipelines and modeling to documentation and process automation that keeps data clean and teams aligned.At Topgolf, MX Technologies, and Route, I’ve led analytics projects, automated revenue data, and helped teams make better use of their numbers. Highlights include increasing billing recovery to 98% and $8M MRR, designing new revenue models in Snowflake, and building cost-saving dashboards.I like the mix of technical problem-solving and business strategy. Building systems that make data simple, fast, and useful is what keeps me motivated.Outside of work, I’m an endurance runner training for the Boston Marathon and recently summited Mt. Kilimanjaro. I love setting big goals—whether it’s a finish line or a new data challenge.
