Fadagen 2000 Data Generator

While designing dashboards for one of my employers, I found it consistently difficult to generate realistic data trends and timelines that resembled realistic data. And customer data is sacred, so we wouldn’t dare use that.

So, I wrote a tool in Python to generate data within a randomized distribution curve, and spit out some CSV files that resembled real data. Using this data, I was then able to plug it into tools like Tableau and Datorama to make my dashboards more realistic, which is an important aspect of dashboard design.
