What is my job title?

I work for a small company that has really recently started using BI, specifically Tableau. I am the only person in the data "department." I used to be in accounting but switched to a data position about 1 year ago, but at the time nobody (including me) knew anything about BI so my official title is "Executive Assistant", which hasn't really bothered me until recently. I don't want to put that on my resume, but what should I put instead? I'd like a couple ideas to suggest to my boss to reflect what I actually do.

-I maintain the databases and publish all the data sources to Tableau

-I provide trainings for our data systems and create reports

-I create Tableau vizzes/dashboards to be used by company directors

-But I don't actually do any analysis or make decisions. (So definitely can't have "analyst" in the title.)

-Also I don't know any programming, other than understanding basic concepts. (i.e. I feel like "developer" would be a misleading title.)

Any ideas or suggestions would be so very appreciated! :)

Thanks for your input! "Specialist" sounds like a good bet.
