Analytics Expertise
I write lots of code and work with lots of data.
Focus Area
Analytics mixes many related disciplines which include software engineering, data engineering, data analysis, business intelligence and data science and involves many skill sets from coding to math and statistics.
I focus on the following areas.
Data Management
Ensures data quality standards are met and that data is complete, consistent and reliable. Data cleaning, data validation, data governance, security and privacy.
System Development
Development of technology for the collection, storage, processing, movement or delivery of data. Database Design, Application Development, Data Warehouses, Data Pipelines and APIs.
Analysis & Reporting
Examine data using a variety of methods to find hidden patterns that are not obvious and provide business value. Statistics, probability, analysis, aggregation, reporting, visualizations and machine learning.
How Can I Help You
Excel
Excel is a great tool for small business. However, they can get pretty bad at times due to poor data quality or performance. If you are having trouble with Excel or another spreadsheet I can help you get it fixed.
Database Design
Have you outgrown Excel and other flat files? Perhaps a database is right for you. I have designed dozens of databases. I can make one for you to streamline day to day operations or specially designed for analytics, called a data warehouse.
Data Quality
Do your results suffer because your data is of poor quality? I have seen this more times than I would like, but I can help to clean your data and ensure it is of the best quality and ensure that it is clear, complete, standardized, accurate and reliable.
Data Processing & Integration
The more detailed the data the better it becomes. I can assist you with data enrichment, data manipulation and the delivery of data to the right place at the right time in the right format.
Business Intelligence
A picture is worth 100 words. Sometimes all you need is a visualization which makes it very clear what you should do. I can get you setup with data visualization and reporting. It can be automated or self-service and delivered via a variety of methods.
Machine Learning
No one knows what the future holds but we can use math, statistics, probability and machine learning to make a really good guess of what is the most likely to happen. I do machine learning models involving predictive analytics, classification, clustering and recommendations.
