Fixed-Price Projects
Most new relationships start as a fixed-price project — expectations for outcomes, overall scope, milestones, and complete end-to-end project pricing set in advance. Projects usually focus on designing and building a complete new data architecture, a specific point-to-point integration, or solving a specific need.
Hourly Projects
Data architecture, system integration, and implementation services provided on an on-going basis by the hour. Especially useful for on-going expansion or maintenance of existing systems.
Products
From time to time, when we see the same opportunity over and over again, we build subscription-based products that are accessible without the need for infrastructure or consulting time.

“...I have been constantly wowed with his unique combination of domain knowledge, productivity, and professionalism. Before we had a full team Mike laid the groundwork to build a high performance data culture. As we grew he has always been able to take on any slack, from small tasks to big complex projects. His strategic thinking has always (and continues to) guide us. Also, just as importantly, he is a great person and really fun to work with.”— Ravi Mody, Head of Data, Daily Harvest
“Very responsive and talented.”— Seth M., GE Ventures
“Mike was very professional, easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with. He was flexible about changing needs of the project and hiccups along the way.”— Liz E., Wacoal America
“Mike is terrific. I'd hire him again tomorrow. He's incredibly flexible, with the ability to adapt to different roles quickly and seamlessly, as he did for us. He's also incredibly comfortable with technology, and built solutions with ruby, python, and other tools. He's also got a nice repertoire of dad jokes, if you're into that sort of thing.”— Jared Cohen, COO, SpokenLayer
“Mike was an invaluable resource for our project. He was able to take our barely fleshed out idea and execute it perfectly within a less-than-ideal timeline. He communicated with us with every step and frequently provided updates to his progress without us having to ask. I can't recommend Mike highly enough and we look forward to working with him on future projects.”— Melissa C., NR Media
“To say my expectations of Mike were exceeded would be an understatement. The quality of his work, and his dedication to see the job through to the end was the most impressive aspect of working with him. His skill set along with his dedication make him a go-to for my current and future projects!”— Brian H., Leadbase
“He has a very powerful understanding of data science, databases, analytics, and has been invaluable to our team. He also is a great communicator and always fully understands the project details and adds value to everything he does. I strongly recommend him.”— Blake Eastmen, The Nonverbal Group
