Data strategy & infrastructure consulting
Data systems that a small team can actually run.
sData Strategies helps organizations turn scattered data into systems people trust — from warehouses and pipelines to the dashboards and analysis built on top of them. Solutions are sized to fit the team that will maintain them, not the team that built them.

Data strategy & planning
Making sense of what data you have, what you actually need, and what order to tackle it in — before any building starts.
Data warehouses & infrastructure
Cloud environments designed around how your data actually arrives, structured so the environment can grow without a rebuild.
Pipelines & integration
Automated processes for combining data from the tools and vendors you already use, with clear rules for quality and change over time.
Analysis, dashboards & reporting
Reporting built for the people who need answers, not queries — internal views and shareable reports for partners and funders.
Ongoing support
Ownerless systems tend to rot. I stick around after launch to fix what breaks and adjust as your needs change.
Build robust but right-sized solutions — ones that can be maintained and improved by whatever team is actually in the room.
Who this is for
ClientsGrowing organizations
Data has outgrown spreadsheets and one-off exports, but there's no dedicated data team yet to make sense of it.
Mission-driven & public-sector teams
Reporting requirements and stakeholder expectations are real, but budgets and technical capacity are limited.
Leadership teams needing visibility
Performance and program data live in too many places to see clearly, let alone act on with confidence.
Anyone inheriting a messy system
A prior consultant, vendor, or in-house effort left something behind that needs to be understood, fixed, or rebuilt.
