Hire the Best Consultants in Washington, D.C.

I've spent the last 7+ years helping organizations make sense of their data — and actually do something with it. That's meant building automation tools that cut reporting time from weeks to hours, designing survey programs that fed directly into executive strategy, and creating dashboards that gave leadership teams a clear view of what was actually happening in their business. Some of those clients have been large: US DOT, Amazon (AWS), 3M, Endo Pharma. But a lot of my work has been with small and mid-sized businesses that had real data problems and needed someone who could come in, understand the business context, and deliver — without a bloated team or a drawn-out timeline. That's the kind of engagement I'm set up for. You'll work directly with me from brief to delivery — no outsourcing, no middlemen. I've worked across logistics, pharma, real estate, cleantech, consumer finance, manufacturing, F&B, education, HR, venture capital, and insurance, so I'm rarely starting from zero on business context. And if something falls outside my scope, I'll say so upfront. $200K+ earned on Upwork. ---- 🤖 AI-POWERED SOLUTIONS Most organizations know AI can help — they just aren't sure where to start, or they've tried and hit a wall because their data wasn't ready for it. I help bridge that gap: assessing where AI can realistically add value, cleaning and structuring the data that makes it work, and building solutions that fit into how your team actually operates. The goal is always something useful, not just something impressive. 📊 DATA ANALYTICS & BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE Full-stack analytics work: Python, SQL, ETL pipeline design, Power BI and Tableau dashboard development, and Excel/Google Sheets automation (VBA, Apps Script). For Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, I built a 50+ page Tableau dashboard tracking arts education metrics across Tennessee school districts. For Staffing Industry Analysts, I redesigned reporting workflows that cut turnaround from weeks to hours. Smaller operators get the same rigor — just scoped to fit. 📝 SURVEY RESEARCH & INSIGHTS End-to-end survey management across Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Voxco, and LimeSurvey — covering design, programming, analysis, and reporting. I managed 50+ employee engagement, DEI, and culture surveys for Endo Pharma, built a white-label federal research platform for US DOT, and delivered customer experience programs for clients like Fairmatic and anecdotes.ai. I know the difference between a survey that collects data and one that actually answers your question. 🗺️ GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS & GIS Spatial data analysis and GIS visualization using ArcGIS and QGIS, applied to site selection, market research, and territory planning. For Ecogy Energy, I built a methodology that identified viable parcels for 30+ renewable energy projects across 7 states. For Reliable Storage, I developed an interactive mapping portal integrating 15+ data layers for network expansion planning. ✍️ DATA COMMUNICATION & REPORTING Research reports, white papers, and executive slide decks that make data legible to non-technical audiences. For Amazon (AWS), I authored a white paper on open-source software adoption trends. For Financial Narrative, I delivered salary benchmarking reports covering trends across multiple regions and financial marketing roles.
