Joe Hughes

Joe is an analytically minded data professional with experience in telecommunications and mobile app development. With a First-Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Leeds, he combines strong technical skills with a passion for communicating insights in a way that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences.

Before joining The Data School, Joe delivered measurable impact by:

  • Safeguarding over £2 million in annual revenue at Gamma Communications through SQL-driven data reconciliation, fraud detection, and the development of automated dashboards in Power BI.

  • Co-creating a mobile game with 15,000+ downloads and a 4.9-star rating, demonstrating his ability to use data to guide creative product decisions.

  • Performing econometric analysis on UK panel data, exploring the relationship between an ageing population, GDP and carbon emissions. 

Outside of work, Joe is an avid traveller, having spent 9 months backpacking through South Asia, during which he volunteered for the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project in Thailand, spent 2 weeks hiking around Manaslu in Nepal and completed his PADI open water course. He’s also a self-taught guitarist, loves to run, and a firm believer that the best way to learn is by getting stuck in.
