Work with me
I take on a small number of consulting engagements each year alongside my full-time role at the Child Poverty Action Lab. Low-to-medium scale projects where I can deliver real impact.
Currently available. Let's see if we're a fit.
What I help with
Data team setup for nonprofits
I help nonprofits build their first or next data team.
What this looks like
- Defining roles and team structure
- Hiring strategy and interview design
- Tooling stack selection (BI, GIS, AI, vendors)
Good fit if
- You have 0–1 data people and want to scale
- You've outgrown ad-hoc data work
- You want someone who's built this before
Modern data stack & infrastructure
I help orgs build scalable data infrastructure they can grow into.
What this looks like
- Databricks (or similar) setup and migration
- Pipeline architecture and ETL design
- AI workflow integration (Anthropic / Claude Enterprise)
Good fit if
- You're outgrowing file-based or fragmented tooling
- You have data but no scalable way to manage it
- You want to introduce AI tooling thoughtfully
Data-forward tool & site development
I build the tools, dashboards, and sites that make data actionable.
What this looks like
- Internal tools for non-technical staff (CRUD, lookup)
- R Shiny dashboards and interactive data products
- Astro / Preact sites and public data tools
Good fit if
- You need a custom tool but lack in-house dev capacity
- You want a public-facing data product for transparency
- You need a thoughtful website for a small org or practice
How I work
Scope
Low-to-medium scale, typically a few weeks to a few months of part-time work. For larger projects, I can help you scope, plan, and find the right team for the job.
Schedule
I work alongside my full-time role, which means evenings and weekends. I'm thoughtful about not over-committing, usually one or two projects active at a time.
Style
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call to understand the work and check fit. Then a written proposal with deliverables, timeline, and rate. I work iteratively and communicate frequently.
Rates
Flexible based on org type, scope, and budget. Sliding scale for nonprofits and mission-aligned orgs. Happy to discuss what works for you.
Have a project in mind?
The fastest way to start is to email me with a brief description of the project, your timeline, and your budget range (if you have one). I usually respond within a couple of days.
Recruiters: I'm also open to conversations about full-time data leadership roles. Same email works.
