Ben Hayward

Ben developed a passion for solving complex problems through his Physics degree at the University of Bath, before bringing that analytical rigour into Data Science R&D at a plasma etching and deposition tool manufacturer. There, he:

  • Delivered an end-to-end AI document search tool using Python and the Microsoft Azure AI API, significantly streamlining internal data retrieval.

  • Built a Power BI dashboard to track tool production lines, enabling more targeted, efficiency-driven decision-making.

Since joining The Data School, Ben has sharpened his skills across the data stack through client projects, including:

  • Developing conversation analytics agents using Snowflake Cortex to improve customer service call handling and explore product-level business impact.

  • Using Alteryx to uncover over 100,000 duplicate records within a law firm's client and case data.

  • Delivering three Tableau dashboards in a single week-long project, using custom extensions to demonstrate the platform's potential and generate excitement for future use cases.

  • Building Tableau solutions incorporating spatial analytics to support recruitment and expansion decisions for a large healthcare provider.

  • Orchestrating end-to-end, time-constrained client projects, managing stakeholder expectations to produce tangible business solutions and paving the way for future use-cases.

Outside of the data world, Ben is an avid basketball player and rock climber who loves to push himself out of his comfort zone by learning new hobbies.
