Fractional Data Leader | Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | Founder, DataNicely You're running multiple locations, entities, or brands — and the numbers don't tie. Each property or rooftop reports a little differently. Someone on your team rebuilds the same spreadsheet every month. By the time leadership sees a number, it's three weeks old and nobody fully trusts it. That's the problem I solve: building the reporting layer underneath a business that grew faster than its systems. WHO I WORK WITH Operators running multiple locations, entities, or brands — property management portfolios, restaurant groups, multi-brand operators — and the advisory firms and PE sponsors behind them. Usually more systems than anyone planned for, often post-acquisition. If you need one dashboard built on data that's already clean, I'm more than you need. If your data lives in five systems and nobody can produce a number everyone believes, that's my work. WHAT I BUILD 1. Data infrastructure & BI — Ingestion from your operational systems (AppFolio, POS, ERP, CRM, scheduled exports, APIs), a real database layer, defined metrics, and Power BI / Tableau / Looker Studio reporting on top. Architected so a future API migration doesn't mean a rebuild. 2. Marketing & revenue analytics — GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, and Conversions API implementation and cleanup. Attribution you can act on, tied back to operational and financial results instead of sitting in a silo. 3. AI automation — Automating the manual work that remains after reporting is fixed: reconciliation, matching, data entry between systems. Every automation ships with human approval gates, an error queue, fallback-to-manual, and an audit log. Nothing posts without your approval — and I don't deploy automations I don't maintain. RECENT WORK • Multi-brand media operator — architected ingestion of 8 brands' ad, subscription, and engagement data into BigQuery, replacing manual cross-brand reporting with one consolidated view. Built an AI layer on top of that clean data so their team can ask questions in plain language instead of queuing requests with an analyst. • Property management portfolios — AppFolio and operational data through automated ingestion into a reporting database and Power BI: occupancy, NOI by property, turn time, work-order backlog, days vacant. Designed so API migration doesn't mean a rebuild. • Multi-location restaurant group — marketing analytics and tracking infrastructure across 12 locations: GA4, GTM, Meta, and campaign attribution tied back to location-level performance. • Private equity value-creation firm — profit-by-customer analysis reconciling 2.08M transactions to the dollar, surfacing $0.6–1.1M in annually realizable margin. HOW I WORK I lead every engagement from architecture through delivery, with support from a vetted team working on dedicated, secured infrastructure. Your data stays in your environment. Everything is documented and transferable — architecture diagram, schema, data dictionary, metric definitions, source code, and a walkthrough. No black boxes, no dependency on me to keep it running. You own it. I work on a project or retained basis rather than by the hour. Most engagements open with a scoped first phase, so you see the work before committing to the rest. 13+ years in analytics and data engineering, including senior analytics roles in banking and financial services before founding DataNicely. If your reporting can't keep pace with your business, that's the problem I solve. Tell me what systems you're running and where the numbers break, and I'll tell you what I'd build.

If your looking for the best, hiring a top 1% consultant = saved time and money. I'm your guy I help companies with valuable datasets organize and simplify their data to bring value without the stress of managing the implementation. 10 years of experience to handle the entire process with minimal hand holding to bring you maximal value in a shortest time. Observability and data analysis Cluster architecture, mappings, data strategies, ingest pipelines. I work to optimize all of these so that the data can start providing value ASAP. Search RAG, semantic search, lexical search, hybrid, ANN, KNN, chatbot, vector search, recommendation engines, analyzers, suggestions and search as you type are all important to curating a product your customers can't resist using. Offload the mental stress of sorting out the nitty gritty details of implementation and let me help create your data system for you. Clients often refer to me as their “cheat code” because a brief call with me can replace hours of frustrating trial & error and research. I have a simple goal: 1) To fully understand your needs, 2) Eliminate any stress or confusion, and 3) Deliver precisely what you’re looking for—taking care of all the details for you. I know how frustrating it can be to hire freelancers who complicate things further, communicate poorly, surprise you with unexpected costs, and require so much oversight that it feels easier to handle the work yourself. Types of work I’ve done: Search Engine Development: Built and optimized high-performance search engines with a focus on user experience, achieving sub-500ms response times. A good search engine prioritizes user experience above all. The user needs to 1) get what they want (relevance), and 2) as fast as you can give it to them <500ms (latency), it's that simple. Full ELK Stack Implementations: Designed and deployed ELK stacks for diverse industries, including healthcare and renewable energy, handling everything from parsing error logs to integrating with third-party tools like Jira and Twitter. Custom Dashboard Creation: Developed visually appealing and functional dashboards for data visualization, enhancing team productivity and decision-making. Automation and Optimization: Automated cluster installations and optimized Logstash/filebeat/ingest pipelines configurations for efficient data processing and error handling. I will explain things in layman's terms and not fill an explanation of how something works with technical jargon. I will be clear with my expectations and happy to explain how things work so you can do it yourself. Let's work on your project together so that you can get what you want out of your data. Additional Competencies: API integration with ELK: Facebook, Google Analytics, Twitter, etc... Automation of ELK: Bash and Ansible External Database Syncing with ELK: SQL, MongoDB Misc: Readonly Rest, Own_home, Searchguard, Graphite, alerting, siem, watcher, docker, AWS, OpenSearch Filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat, Vega, RAG, LLM, AI augmented search, index templates,
