The data layer
your business needs.
Built by one person,
faster than you think.
I embed in your domain for 60–90 days and build the analytical tools your operators need — without a team, without the timeline.
Three things I ship
Purpose-built for operators who know their domain but can't afford a full data team.
Domain intelligence tools
I learn your industry, then build tools that make your operators smarter at their actual job. Not generic dashboards — purpose-built systems for how your team actually works.
AI-powered applications
Full-stack web apps with embedded AI workflows, shipped in weeks. Predictive scoring, automated reporting, live analytics platforms.
Data infrastructure
Pipelines, warehouses, and automated data layers that connect your fragmented systems into one source of truth your team can actually query.

Real results from real projects
Kuska Autism Services
Staff running the same manual workflows 15 minutes at a time, plus a monthly process that consumed a full hour to harden.

Built forecasting system with user-controllable conversion rates, seasonality, and growth factors.

60 – 90 days, start to ship
Embed
First week: I sit with your operators and learn how work actually flows.
Map
Diagram the systems, the data, the stuck places. Pick one painful thing to fix first.
Ship
Weeks 2–8: build, test, and deploy. Demo every Friday. No ceremony.
Hand off
Docs, runbook, and training. Your team owns it when I leave.
Stay close
Optional retainer for iteration. Most clients keep one.
One operator. Four domains. Ten years of shipping.
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.
