What I Do

Project-based engagements. No retainers, no fluff.

Market & Landscape Research

Full-coverage analysis of markets, competitors, and tools — built around the criteria that matter to your decision.

Business Diagnostics & Scoping

I dig into your operational complexity, identify what's broken and why, and deliver a prioritized action plan before you spend a dollar on implementation.

Decision-Ready Reports

Every deliverable is built for a decision-maker, not just a reader. Clear frameworks, weighted findings, and a bottom line.

Recent Work

About

The analyst behind
the research.

My background is in data analysis, Excel automation, and web development — work I did for years as a freelance consultant helping small and mid-size businesses build better systems and make sense of their data.

That analytical foundation is what drives how I approach research: structured frameworks, clear criteria, weighted evaluations, and deliverables that are built for decisions — not just reading.

I'm also a working guitar instructor and music producer, which means when I research music education technology, I'm evaluating it from the inside — not just reading marketing copy.

Based in the DFW area. Available for project-based research and diagnostic engagements.
