Alex Waleczek
Data Analysis & Insights
I am an Analytics Consultant with 10 years of experience advising on, developing & maintaining analytics systems for small start-ups & international corporations. Since 2023 I work as an independent consultant offering my expertise, without the overhead of big teams and competing priorities. I am now advising, designing, building and maintaining analytics systems that combine and harmonise data from multiple data sources and allow businesses to see performance across Salesforce and other systems. Usually using tools like Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, Tableau and CRMA. I enjoy building things I can be proud of, which means I will push back on approaches and solutions that I don’t think are scalable and maintainable, offering ways to solve problems permanently rather than deploying quick-fixes. Whether you want a whole Analytics setup and wonder where to start, a review of your existing architecture or a dashboard based on existing models, I develop solutions that last after I leave.

I assist clients with clear definitions of target markets and how to engage with them. My approach is to understand their product or service, the pain points it seeks to address, and craft a strategy to evaluate. I leverage more than twenty years of market research experience to develop effective surveys or discussion guides to gather feedback from existing or potential customers, analyze and interpret results and inform a recommended strategy. I’m driven by an innate need to see my clients succeed at their passion, and I take ownership of my client’s problems and work diligently to resolve them. My client list is primarily made up of entrepreneurs and small businesses, though my skill set would pay dividends to any size organization. Industry verticals in which I have the most experience include consumer products, energy, technology, and digital marketing. I have deep experience using diverse tools across many of these skills including Microsoft Office, SPSS, R, Tableau, Power BI, ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, and many others...I am also a seasoned user of primary data sources informing estimates used in market analysis such as population, labor force, age cohort, use of technology and social media, attitudes and behaviors, and additional indicators. Reach out to me if you are looking for someone to assist in either bringing a product to market, expanding an existing product, or struggling with managing critical data effectively.

Greetings! My name is Dave Langer, and I'm passionate about helping my clients have a real-world impact with analytics. I've been in the technology field for 28 years and have been doing hands-on analytics for the last 14 years. Over this time, I have done just about everything you can do with data, including data warehousing, reporting, dashboards, crafting KPIs, data analysis, and machine learning. In years past, I held analytics leadership roles at Schedulicity, Data Science Dojo, and Microsoft. Don't worry, though. I was a hands-on leader, crafting analyses and providing guidance to leaders. These days, I'm an independent consultant and educator. My passion is demystifying analytics to empower any professional (or team) with the skills required to explore, clean, and analyze data using battle-tested techniques, such as clustering and predictive modeling. I've successfully taught 1,000+ professionals these skills in live classrooms and 1,000s more online. I also deliver advanced analytics solutions for my clients, where my focus is on helping organizations build better forecasts using machine learning. Lately, I've been fascinated with how Microsoft is turning Excel into the world's most accessible tool for practical data science. Yes, you read that last sentence correctly. 🤣

Hey there! I'm an economist by training working as a data science consultant. I'm an expert in experimentation and causal inference, helping companies learn what actions causes desirable outcomes. Regardless of whether you're trying to optimize your marketing budget or mitigating churn from your product, experimentation helps you get there. Pricing and discounting is often the most powerful lever in a business. Getting it right requires careful testing and tweaking on an ongoing basis. Your customer base has a wide range of individuals who will respond differently to different prices and promotions. I can help you set the right prices and deliver the most efficient promotions, for each customer. I have helped companies in various industries, including grocery, convenience, fast food, and high-end retail, running in-store experiments. You don't need thousands of customers online to reap the benefits from experimentation. With the right know-how, you can get reliable answers to your most important business questions.

Howdy! I'm a full stack data engineer based in Brooklyn, New York. I specialize in building and shipping systems to automate data ingestion and transformation across a variety of platforms. My expertise ranges from web application development to data modeling with dbt and configuring cloud infrastructure with Terraform. In recent freelance projects I've been tasked with: Breaking a monolith web application into composable micro services (Flask, Docker, Terraform) Designing a text-to-CSV parsing algorithm (Spacy, Google Vision) Building an event-driven data transformation pipeline (Dagster, dbt) Prior to my engineering career, I was a social researcher at NYU and Stanford University where I trained Machine Learning models to identify brain regions implicated in peer-to-peer connection, examined the relationship between hate speech and ambient demographic changes, and modeled the cognitive impacts of social heterogeneity. Coming from the analytical side of the table has shaped the way that I approach data engineering, and has given me a holistic perspective. I'd love to hear about the ways that data can unlock your organizational reporting, let's connect!

I'm Matthew Carmean, a business and data insight consultant who transforms complex digital data into clear, actionable understanding for business leaders. As a seasoned ecommerce professional, data storyteller, and business analyst, I help organizations find and communicate powerful data insights that shape high-level business decisions. I coach and consult with data and business professionals on how to uncover real business insights and communicate them with clarity, empathy, and impact. With over 15 years of experience across ecommerce and digital marketing—both on the business side and in analytics—I've led insight discovery and data storytelling workshops across online retail, healthcare, and B2B software industries. My core focus is helping organizations build high-performing, data-driven cultures where teams consistently extract value from their analytics. I can help if: Your management asks for "better reporting" but can't clearly explain what that means—I have a Narrative Reporting Framework that works. Your business leaders keep demanding "better and more insights"—analyzing data alone won't help; you need a StoryFinding Mindset. I can help you find more insights and teach your teams how to do it too. Your executives complain "I need the story!"—a StoryTelling approach is the only way to turn insights into action. I can create these stories for you and teach you how to do it yourself.

My work is built for impact. I believe that data is not neutral; it is a way to communicate our values, findings, and shared reality. At its best, data changes minds and unites us in a common cause. I use data for progress, working with foundations, non-profits, and mission-driven organizations. I have used data to help people off their roofs after hurricanes, food banks streamline their services to customers, and organizers build community coalitions. I love working with passionate people and sharing in a common cause. Reach out if you see the potential in data but need a little help figuring out how.

Hi! I’m Yael Shinkar, data visualization journalist, designer, and lecturer passionate about turning complex ideas into clear, impactful stories. I began my career in Israel’s major economic newspapers, where I led infographic departments and built creative teams that reshaped how data is communicated in journalism. Today, I teach infographic design at leading academic institutions, encouraging students to explore beyond their disciplines and craft visual stories from the data they collect. Beyond academia, I collaborate with clients ranging from high-tech companies and government institutions to cultural organizations and children’s publishers. Over the years, I’ve developed a distinctive infographic language rooted in a sensitive, human perspective, making the complex accessible and simple, often with a wink of humor and critique. My work has been featured in international publications, books, and exhibitions, and I continue to experiment with creative formats that blend journalism, design, and storytelling. When I’m not immersed in data, you’ll probably find me at a dance performance, a music show, or the theatre , always seeking new sparks of inspiration, or just as likely exploring flea markets and chasing my toddler through the park.
