The build
What an AWS QuickSight engagement includes
★ Primary focus
AWS QuickSight dashboard build
Data source connection (S3, RDS, Athena, or direct upload), cleaning and shaping your raw data into a dashboard-ready model, calculated fields and metrics, dashboard layout and visualisation design, user and permission setup, scheduled refresh configuration, and a full handover document. Training for your team included if needed.
What you receive
Published QuickSight dashboard · data source documentation · calculated field register · handover guide
Power BI, also available
Production-ready Power BI reports with a clean data model and properly written DAX measures, for teams standardised on Microsoft's stack rather than AWS. Past work includes the English Housing Survey environmental analysis dashboard (UK Dept for Energy and Industrial Strategy) and dashboards for the UK rail regulator.
What you receive

Proof of capability

The clearest proof of the service is a live product I built and run myself

Sunbelt Signal isn't only a subscription — it's a complete, production analytics product I designed, built, and operate end to end, single-handed. Every capability I deliver for clients, I run here first. So when you hire me to build yours, you're not buying a promise — you're buying something you can already see working.

End-to-end data pipelines
Python pipelines collect, clean, and validate data from 9+ federal and state government sources every quarter — the same automation I build for client teams.
Live dashboard with a built-in AI analyst
A subscriber dashboard that answers questions in plain English — built with Python, Plotly, and Next.js, and the same capability I deliver in AWS QuickSight, Power BI, or bespoke Python builds.
Government-grade QA on every release
A 3-tier QA framework — automated pipeline test, independent recalculation, manual source check — before anything is published.
Automated, productized deliverables
45+ slide investor packs generated automatically every quarter — the same report automation I build to replace manual, error-prone processes.
See it live
Sunbelt Signal — Florida SFR investment intelligence
Every covered Florida market scored for investment opportunity using our proprietary Overall Investment Opportunity Score (OIOS) — plus the full 11-component breakdown, a built-in AI analyst, and downloadable data. Each quarter, a verified investor pack for every covered market.

Two supporting services
Shorter, clearly scoped engagements alongside the core QuickSight and Power BI work — a quick summary of each so you know in a few seconds whether it's relevant.
"AI tools make it fast to produce analysis. They don't make it correct. That's still a job for someone who has spent a career being held accountable for getting it right."
🔍
AI & Data Audit
Independent review of AI-generated analysis and data pipelines — has anyone actually checked it's correct?
  • Full source-to-output data audit trail
  • Independent review of AI-generated analysis, methodology, and sources
  • QA framework assessment for existing data products
  • Written Independent Data Review (IDR) certificate for investor or regulatory sign-off
⚙️
Data Automation
Replaces manual, error-prone data processes with a documented, repeatable pipeline — built the same way Sunbelt Signal runs.
  • Python pipeline — collect, clean, validate from any raw source
  • Connects directly to a live AWS QuickSight or Power BI dashboard — or a bespoke Python build (Streamlit, Plotly, Next.js), as used for Sunbelt Signal
  • Automated PDF, Excel, or slide-pack report generation
  • Full documentation and handover — no single point of failure
