How has SAS Analytics Explorers benefited your career?
Winning the SAS Analytics Explorers Advovate 2023 and the following contacts have helped me

tremendously. This year I don’t see my entry as really competition entry, but more as a support of all the other entrants, especially the Product Owner of my Scrum team, Daniel Frank: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Customer-Recognition-Awards/2024-Customer-Awards-DEG-SAS-Analytic.... Please vote for him. He is a great SAS and SAS Analytics Explorers Advocate.



What is your favorite challenge you've completed in the program?
This year my favorite has been Thursday’s education series with topics from Rick Wicklin’s blogs.

How have you shared the program with other users at your organization?
Of Course I am still sharing the programs with other users inside and outside my organisation.

What is your favorite reward you've earned?
My favorite earned awards are the vouchers for courses and exams. They allow me to implement my lifelong learning according to my personal preferences.

What SAS products do you use?

Beside data step and different procs in SAS Base, I have used Visual Analytics for a Climate Risk Stress Test and I am using increasingly SAS IML for an equity risk model.

In future I will dive into ALM, Machine Learning and CI to work on an Bank deposit management which integrates Treasury and Retail Banking functions.
