High Five - September 2021, Mike Tarallo

[Sue_Macaluso]

 Mike thrives on information sharing, troubleshooting, and content creation when working with the Qlik Community and our members. He also loves kicking the tires on new Qlik products and sharing sneak peeks with the Community through blogs and videos. In addition, Mike enjoys promoting other people’s hard work through the Qlik Community guest blogger program, where Consultants and Solution Architects can share other in-the-trenches solutions. Mike says that overall, it is just about helping our partners and Community members learn what he learned and showing them what is coming, how to use it, and what benefits to expect. Mike enjoys showing others what he discovered and how he found it, primarily using video – as this is universal. Though it may not always be in the viewer’s language, they still can grasp the concept of what Mike is showing.  When it comes to information sharing and learning about Qlik, he found that using a dataset that you understand and love will help you learn faster.

Mike is an avid video gamer and Star Wars Graphics T wearer, loves anything Star Wars, enjoys retro game collecting and 3D printing. He uses his retro video game collection data with Qlik Sense combined with pricing data from a pricing service (PriceCharting.com) and incrementally loads it into a data store. The app has been reloading daily since 2017. Mike has created various analyses on this data and sees trends and relationships between titles, genres, and platforms.

Mike hosts a bi-weekly webinar series, Do More with Qlik. This month, Wednesday Sept 22 at 10 AM ET – Jeff Goldberg and Mike will introduce you to our latest Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) offering Qlik App Automation. He hopes to see you all there!

@Michael_Tarallo - congratulations!!

So well deserved! You seem to be the right person for the job. Qlik should be very proud to have you on board. If I would need to put a person face when thinking about Qlik - I would only think about few people and you are right up there on the very top spot. 

Thanks for all your hard work, great demos, great videos, great presentations and meetups participation. I really appreciate your early involvement when Qlik Sense was still a new born baby and we did not have that much support you were the person who solved many technical issues and answered many questions here on community. You were first line tech support and it was a lifesaver!

Then all fantastic content including: "Whats new in..." and  "Qlik Sense in 60". Always very simple to understand and helpful. 

Just to say it as it is - I love your work - its great.

Thanks and keep the great work up.

cheers
