Let's Talk About Your Project

What I Do

About Joel

I’m an AI & Data Warehousing Consultant helping small and medium businesses turn scattered data into clear, actionable insights and skyrocket their search visibility with AI-powered optimization.

With over 10 years building production-grade data platforms from the ground up, I specialize in unifying messy sources into modern, scalable warehouses that fuel better decisions and real growth.

Recent wins include:

  • Designing a greenfield data warehouse for the largest private janitorial services provider in the U.S. (serving Amazon, Target, Chase Bank)—consolidating 30+ disparate systems into real-time dashboards.
  • Shipping custom agentic AI workflows that automate end-to-end sales pipelines, from research to personalized outreach.

I thrive on “Year 0 → Year 1” transformations—stepping in to create the data foundation that powers everything from smarter marketing to dominating AI search results.

Selected Case Studies

Case study 1

Agentic AI Sales Pipeline Automation

A client needed to scale their sales pipeline operations beyond manual workflows and fragmented tools. I designed and built a custom agentic AI workflow system paired with a lightweight wrapper application tailored to their business logic. The system automated lead analysis, follow-up sequencing, and data synchronization, freeing the team from repetitive tasks while improving pipeline visibility and conversion efficiency.

Case study 2

Enterprise Data Warehouse for National Janitorial Services Leader

The largest private janitorial services provider in the U.S. operated with dozens of disconnected data silos across operations, HR, finance, and field systems. I designed and led development of a centralized data warehouse and a suite of distributed ETL jobs using Apache Spark, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and AWS Lambda (Python + Scala). The result: a unified, company-wide reporting platform supporting real-time insights for clients including Amazon, Target, and Chase Bank.
