Who we are
My name is Genelle Denzin. I have been a full-time data analyst since about 2005 and before that I was in IT where data analysis was part of my job. A long time! I started working in HMIS in 2009.
You may have come here from https://modalmetrics.net which is my current business. This website address is: https://reportingnotes.com and has been in operation since about 2011. Its purpose over the years shifted, starting as a place to write about what I loved doing- building reports in HMIS. New thoughts, methods, code, and successes in our CoC. It has been dormant for a while now, but I am committing to writing more.
