I build the data systems your business runs on.
18 months embedded at CSL Capital building their deal scoring and portfolio dashboard. Before that, KIN Home's BigQuery warehouse and daily ops reporting.
Three ways to start
Book the call that matches the work. I'll ask what's breaking, who owns it, and what needs to be true for the build to pay for itself.

What clients walked away with
Behavioral health workflows
Staff running the same manual workflows 15 minutes at a time, plus a monthly process that consumed a full hour to harden.
Mapped and automated three core workflows into repeatable, fast routines.
Daily processes: 15 min to under 5 min. Monthly hardening: 1 hr to 20 min. Staff recaptured hours every week for client care.
Solar installer forecasting
No visibility into future installation completions. Sales and ops working from different numbers.
Built forecasting system with user-controllable conversion rates, seasonality, and growth factors connected to live pipeline data.
6-month forward visibility per installer. First accurate forecast in company history.
MCA loan analytics
Manual reconciliation across 840 API calls per pipeline run. No risk scoring. Reports took 30 minutes to assemble.
Automated grading system with ROI scoring, correlation analysis, and reconciliation layer across HubSpot and QuickBooks.
840 API calls reduced to 6. Reports: 30 min to 26 sec. Risk team reviews flags, not raw data.
Unified operations dashboard
Data scattered across CRM, accounting, and ops systems. No single view of the business.
Single data layer connecting QuickBooks, HubSpot, and custom APIs.
One source of truth. Leadership sees the full picture every morning without manual assembly.

I'm David Hyde. Senior data scientist turned one-person shop. I've built internal tools across solar, financial services, sports analytics, and ranching — the kind of tools operators actually open before their first meeting.
I don't do decks. I write the pipeline, ship the dashboard, and train your team to own it. When I leave, the tool stays.
