Giordano Lupini

My name is Giordano (Gio) Lupini and I am an aspiring Data Analyst from Cape Town, South Africa.

I fell in love with data analysis during my career as a professional racing driver, where data analysis was crucial to find those last few tenths of a second, and win on track.

I have earned a BCom in Marketing and Management Science degree in 2023, and I have since completed multiple online courses including Google's comprehensive ‘Data Analytics Professional Certificate’.

I have also gained crucial data analyst experience through an internship at a motoring publication called ‘The Auto Page’, where I was given the task to analyse more than a decades worth of performance test data from over a thousand vehicles tested since the company began recording it's data. I thoroughly enjoyed the process, made some exciting insights, and learned a ton along the way.

My analytical mindset tends to come through in my hobbies such as golf and weight-lifting. With both of these hobbies I find myself turning to analysis as a crucial way to improve over time. To me, finding insights through analysis is highly satisfying, and that's why I'm convinced that a career in data analysis is right for me!
