About Wander & YYC-Wander

YYC-Wanderis a Calgary-focused data platform that I built to explore local open data through a data engineer’s lens.

I’m Wander, a full-stack data professional with deep experience in Oracle SQL/ETL, Power BI, and large-scale telecom analytics .

This site brings together my technical background and my curiosity about Calgary — turning complex public datasets into clear, usable dashboards and stories./p>

Why this platform exists

After moving to Calgary, I wanted a clearer, data-driven way to understand neighbourhoods, schools, housing, labour markets, and public health.

YYC-Wander grew out of that curiosity. It’s a long-term personal project where I collect, clean, model, and visualise public data — using the same engineering mindset I’ve applied in enterprise systems for years.

The goal is simple: make complex datasets easier to explore for residents, nonprofits — without requiring them to write SQL.
