Documenting my transition from healthcare compliance to data analytics—one project at a time.

🙃 About Me

From Medicaid to DataFor over 20 years, I’ve worked in healthcare, helping seniors navigate one of the most complex systems in America — Medicaid eligibility, long-term care, compliance, and reimbursement.Along the way, I discovered something unexpected: I love data.Today I’m learning SQL, healthcare analytics, compliance, Power BI, and AI while documenting everything I learn so other career changers can benefit from the journey. Whether you’re coming from healthcare or another nontraditional background, I hope this hub helps you see that it’s never too late to start.Get in Touch!

💭 My Thoughts

Not every lesson fits in a dashboard.This is where I write about the messier parts of a career change—what it's like learning SQL as a non-engineer, what I wish I'd known when I started, and the small wins that keep me moving forward.✍🏼 Linnette Builds (LinkedIn)

📝 SQL TIPS

Small lessons, one query at a time.A running collection of the SQL concepts, syntax, and “aha” moments I’ve picked up along the way — written the way I wish someone had explained them to me. If you’re learning SQL from scratch too, hopefully these save you a few Google searches.
