Data Quality Matters
Better data generates better results.
Following data best practices can help you get there.
What I Do
I help organizations with data so its done right.
I ensure they have the right data at the right time at the right destination in the right format.
I want you to win with data but that does NOT happen by accident.
Winning with data is a lot like winning in sports. No one wins by just showing up to play on game day and hoping for the best. Teams that win consistently are Highly Intentional about their preparation and do off season workouts, conditioning, practice and film study to give themselves the best chance of winning on game day.
Urban Analytics
My primary area of interest is in Data Quality and working with Databases at a high level.
I apply this in Urban Analytics which is the blending of Urban Planning and Data Analytics using technologies such as Geographic Information Systems as well as adjacent industries including Economic Development, Real Estate and related disciplines.
Below are selected types of projects I have done in these areas.
Data Engineering
Automated data integration and processing from a myriad of sources featuring Data Pipelines, ETL, Cleaning and Enrichment.
Data Apps
Document Management with Text Analytics, Asset Management, Facilities Management and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
Web Development
Websites to market Urban Planning, Economic Development with integrated GIS maps and E-Commerce.
Hi, I'm Joe
I've always been drawn to data because it tells the story of how we got here and where we want to go.
Formally education in Urban Planning, I think strategically ever since. I have also done work involving Geographic Information Systems, Software Engineering and Data Engineering.
Sum total, I have worked with data for 20 years and written code for 12 years completing more than 80 projects along the way in a variety of roles and capacities for organizations ranging from the small family business to large enterprises with thousands of team members.
I am a Certified Data Management Professional which gives me a comprehensive understanding of data best practices regardless of technology.
Ultimately, I view my most effective role as that of a Data Architect as it mixes both the strategic planning found in Urban Planning and the technical used in Software and Data Engineering.
