Statistical Data Analysis
Freelance learnerLearning statistics. Doing statistics. Or, at the least, training statistics. Humility towards stat was one of my first learnings. Hi, my name is Carsten. I’m Dane living in Spain with my wife and two children. I have been 20 years in sales, marketing, writings and startups and now skilling me up in mathematical statistics and statistical programming. Can I join you on my further learning path?

What they say
These references point to my ‘earlier’ career before starting with statistical data analysis: 20 yrs within sales, marketing, writings and startups.
I headhuntet Carsten.
With his analytical skills he optimized our logistics and increased productivity throughout our organization.
Carsten is a top professional knowing the art of converting highly complex concepts into simple solutions. He boosted our sales and developed our network of sales agents.
As designer in Zapin, I worked very closely with Carsten who acted as interface between our clients and designers. Carsten worked out procedures for different processes. He dominated the demand specifications and was a strong communicator balancing client quality expectations with scopes of productions. A great professional and a good colleague.
Based on his sharp analytical skills, Carsten developed and implemented working procedures and systems. He built up the sales department from scratch. He achieved to streamline the company and the working procedures across the organization. As interface between our clients and our technical department Carsten …. ensuring our clients’ absolute satisfaction.
