Day 1: A Marketer Opens Dune

“Today, I finally stopped just ‘liking’ dashboards and started building my own.”

👋 Who am I and why am I here?

For the past 4 years, I’ve been deep in Web3 not writing code, but copy.
I helped build communities, led social strategies, launched marketing campaigns, hosted AMAs, analyzed impressions, and yes… admired all the clean, sexy dashboards on Dune from afar.

But lately, admiration hasn’t been enough. I want to build them.
Actually I want to understand the data behind the stories I’ve been telling for years.

🎓 The Academic Side of Me

I’m also about to graduate from university with a degree in Statistics.
While my professional background has been shaped by Web3 marketing, my academic foundation has always been about numbers, models, and making sense of complex data.

Now, I'm finally ready to bring those two worlds together.

🧭 My Pivot Plan

I’m transitioning into a data-driven, technical role in the crypto space not just as a Dune dashboard builder, but as a crypto data analyst who can extract real insights from on-chain and off-chain sources.

I’m following the "Roadmap to Becoming a Top Crypto Data Analyst" a fantastic visual guide created by the Dune community.
I’ll use it as my compass, but I’m not just checking boxes I’m living the journey and documenting it here, in public.

🧠 What I'll Be Learning

Along the way, I’ll be covering:

  • Foundations of blockchain from a data perspective

  • SQL (finally putting it into daily use)

  • Python for data cleaning & analysis

  • On-chain behavior analysis

  • Dune dashboards (yes, they’ll still be part of the journey!)

  • And eventually: building models, asking better questions, and telling better data-driven stories

🔜 What’s Next?

Starting tomorrow:

  • I’ll revisit crypto fundamentals with a technical lens

  • Begin daily SQL practice

  • Launch a GitHub repo to track my mini-projects and notebooks

  • And write here about every step even the awkward, messy ones

🎯 The Promise

No buzzwords. No inflated success stories.
Just a marketer/statistician hybrid learning to become a crypto data analyst in public, from scratch.

Mistakes, wins, and all.
Let’s go. 🧡
