Data Engineering and Data Analysis

Data is your rocket fuel. I turn numbers into information, semantics into models, and raw data into your competitive edge. With many years in IT and a degree in Economics, I've seen firsthand what works and what doesn't and why when it comes to adopting a new technology, product or process. I decode your in-house data through the lens of your industry; I identify your strengths and the areas where external data can complement the in-house data. I analyze the market and legal context of your data.

Here is a sample of what type of data-related projects I can propose to boost your business:

  • Audit your data inventory, data models, computing and storage infrastructure, ingestion processes, security, legal compliance, processes resilience and disaster recovery plans and data administration standards.
  • Design and implement migration plans, on premises to cloud or data services platforms or applications and version upgrades.
  • Build analytic tools by using sound statistical models. Use AI tools.
  • Build financial analysis applications such as Investment Portfolio performance analysis based on sound mathematical models. Build credit risk and credit stress tests models.
  • Build and use AI models and analytics for classification, prediction and optimization.
  • In depth optimization of the SQL code. Analysis of your data and query tuneup policies and processes.
  • Design and implementation of state-of-the-art Data Warehouses.

AI Is The Future. What Is Your AI strategy?

Artificial Intelligence is the most formidable transformative tool at your disposal today to empower your business. The growth of AI applications is happening at a dizzying pace. AI is the most disruptive force in the world today. Businesses that adapt and harness that power will prevail and thrive.

I start by understanding your business ecosystem, your business objectives, the strength and weaknesses of your competitors. I analyze your data, processes, staff, biz plans. I identify the areas in your business where costs, efficiency upgrades and AI adoption can have the maximum impact on reaching your goals. I then provide a tailored plan to adopt those tools, based on your budget and an adoption cost-benefit analysis.

There are dozens of AI products coming into the market every day. These products address specific or general business domains. Each AI product involves adoption costs, sensitive staff training and has an impact on workflows currently in place in your business.

My role is to identify the AI solution that offers the most beneficial impact in your business, if one exists. My role is to find the answers to critical questions:

  • Does this tool truly meet your need?
  • Is the cost-benefit alignment sound, and within what timeframe?
  • What are the specific capabilities and limitations of the AI solution?
  • How well does it adapt to your unique use cases?
  • How credible and reliable is the provider of the AI solution?
  • What are the workflow requirements to adopt the AI solution?
  • How does a proposed AI solution compare with other alternatives?

Mi mission is to pinpoint and deploy the AI solution that will have the most beneficial and sustainable impact on your business. Mi offer is to build and implement sound and useful AI models, being these predictive or optimization or analytical.
