Bridging the gap between data and strategy ✦ Lead Data Strategy Consultant @ Redkite ✦ R Programmer ✦ Policy Nerd

Okay I probably have your attention here for about 10 seconds, so I’m going to be quick:

My niche is navigating the complex data world for organisations to help them deliver on their strategy

Basically, I bridge the gap between data and strategy

Want to know more? Here is how I do it:

💡 Learned as a strategy consultant what matters and what doesn’t
🎤 Storytell to help clients implement effectively (how do you properly engage the audience and infuse that story with the key takeaways/ implications)
💻 Use my R coding and strategy consulting experience to bridge the data scientist's "get lost in the data" approach with the "tell me what I need to know on one page" approach of the business executive
★ Live off my passion to see through positive outcomes, be that at work, on my blog or even when helping a friend

So why should you care?

1) I post my best tips 3-5x per week on LinkedIn
2) I make it relevant to you, as a student, business professional, executive, or whomever. My goal is to share relevant stuff with my audience
3) I try to be unique in what I share and deliver, as few people have the combination of experience I boast
4) I value feedback and input from all others out there. I pride myself on learning from others' perspectives so please add it to my content!

After an incident resulted in the loss of five months of company-wide data at Wright Global Graphics, I was called in to help out with manual information re-entry.

In the first 1.5 months, I recreated shipping, sales, and purchasing information for an entire plant (working with those three departments), allowing for full operations to resume. That operation was originally estimated to last for 3 months, but was cut considerably short by my work efficiency. While there, I also created an index of their paper filing system allowing sales reps and production workers to save more than 60% of their time previously spent on filing and retrieving folders. I also re-digitized a paper card filing system, creating similar productivity boosts.

I then switched to the corporate office for another month helping accounting remove $5.5 million in accounts receivable from a partial system backup to allow the ERP to return usable information for reports. Along the way, I found methods to complete many tasks in fractions of the original estimated time using Excel shortcuts and in one case, automating the problem using Python.

I also created dashboards to visualize my productivity during that time.

👋 Welcome to my profile! I’m David.

🔭 I use math, data, and physics to further humanity's space ambitions to expand into and beyond our solar system.

📝 If anything below sparks your interest, send me a note. I’d love to connect!*

My current role is focused on ensuring humanity maintains free access to Earth’s orbit to foster non-military space exploration and rapid economic development within our solar system. 🌎

I make great visualizations and find data insights using R and Excel (check out my featured posts for examples). The next step on my data journey is to create useful dashboards to shorten the decision-making process and build my artificial intelligence expertise. 🤖

To maximize our ability to explore our universe and expand humanity’s sphere of influence outside of our Sun’s influence, we will need to figure out ways around the light speed barrier. The method I consider most promising is warp drive. While it may not become a practical propulsion method in my lifetime, I collaborate with others to collate General Relativity literature developments to the warp drive metric to spur intellectual development in that direction. 🚀

Ad Astra! 🌠
