Deep Expertise

Where technical depth
meets real-world scale

Most data shops can build dashboards. Few have shipped production AI systems, designed data architectures from scratch, and built the analytics layer executive teams actually trust.

I've worked across the full data spectrum: product analytics, business intelligence, consumer-facing UX, and workforce intelligence platforms for Fortune 50 enterprises. People analytics is one of my deepest specializations, but the craft travels across every domain — modeling, architecture, insight generation.

I build the systems that
make everything
else work.

I'm Andy. I've spent over two decades building the kind of infrastructure that makes organizations run smoother than they realize. Data pipelines, AI integrations, analytics platforms, HR systems. Quiet work. High leverage.

My background cuts across Fortune 50 enterprises and scrappy startups shipping their first product. I've worked in telecom, automotive, and tech, across product analytics, business intelligence, consumer UX, data engineering, and ML. I like the full stack of the problem: the architecture, the analysis, the moment a system clicks into place.

People analytics is where I've done some of my deepest work: building workforce intelligence platforms, embedding AI into the tools HR teams live in, and designing data models that hold up at enterprise scale. The same rigor applies to product, operations, finance, consumer experience. Good data architecture doesn't care what domain it's in.

Outside client work, I'm building a creator economy platform, writing about data and analytics, and (when the kids aren't stealing the TV) deep in a Unity project or rewatching Gundam. That last part matters. People who build things for fun build better things for clients.
