Make the work hold up after you hand it off.
Working across the data lifecycle.
I structure information, build the systems that run on it, and design the artifacts that make the work legible to the next person who picks it up.
Data Documentation
Same shape on every page, so a new dev finds the endpoint they need without spelunking the codebase. The structure absorbs new endpoints instead of bending around them.
What changed
Internal Glossary
One definition per term, owned and dated. The recurring "wait, what do we mean by X" debate dies, and onboarding cuts a handful of repeat questions in week one.
What changed
Wikis
Most personal wikis collapse under their own growth. This one was built so the structure absorbs new pages instead of buckling around them.
What changed
SOPs
Same shape every procedure — synopsis, scope, steps, version. A new hire runs the operation the same way the senior does, from the document.
What changed
Presentation
Decks where every slide earns its place — set up the question, show the move, land the takeaway. The audience leaves with a model, not a recap.
What changed
Infographics
One page. One glance. Months on a wall. Compresses a system, process, or decision into something a reader gets first and references later.
What changed
Automated Transactions
Event capture as code, not as console clicks. Every change to the front door for downstream data is auditable, reproducible, and reversible.
What changed
Tableau Prep
Pick up the flow cold, change one cleaning node, run it. Nothing downstream breaks. Visual flows that turn messy source files into analysis-ready datasets without burying the steps.
What changed
Clean Modeling
A new engineer is functional in minutes — not from reading CREATE TABLEs, but from a color-coded diagram that shows how the database fits together.
What changed
Process Capability
An average can hide a process that misses spec a third of the time. Capability analysis catches what the average smooths over.
What changed
Dashboards
Three clicks from the headline to the cause, no analyst on the call. Built around the question someone was actually asking, not the data the warehouse happened to have.
What changed
Attribute Prediction
A 3D decision surface you can rotate. The model's behavior becomes inspectable instead of opaque — and stakeholders get something concrete to question.
What changed
Dynamic Reporting
An analyst used to be the loop between question and answer. Now the user closes it themselves — pivot, filter, drill on demand.
What changed
Ongoing
Replaces the "what's the status of PO-1742?" Slack message. A live view where status, region, and stage all sit in the same row — anyone with the file answers their own question.
What changed
Continual Improvement
Variation crosses from normal to special, the chart pages someone. Hours, not the next standing meeting. The system watches itself.
What changedA practitioner across the data lifecycle.
Information architecture is the work upstream of every dashboard, pipeline, and automation — naming the messy thing so the next person doesn't have to. I do that work for files, for data, and for the operations in between.

Most of what I make ends up on one of the platforms below. If your team's losing time to messy files, unclear processes, or reports nobody trusts — that's exactly the work I do. Email is the better channel if you want to start something — a role, a project, a question. hello@avidanalytics.com
