We recognize other capable fellow colleagues at the state may want to build a data stack or use advanced analysis tools, but lack a thought-partner to discuss and refine ideas. We aim to provide these colleagues with advice about how to define, scope, and build a robust data engineering or data science solution designed to address a business need. We typically engage in an hour-long meeting every week for the duration of a quarter, during which we assess your problem and provide advice.
How this service can help your department
We provide guidance on the following topics:
How to assess if your project could benefit from advanced statistics and/or machine learning
How to develop infrastructure and software to enable efficient data analysis
How to build a roadmap that describes the scope, timeline, and resources (both personnel and effort) necessary to build a successful data engineering or data science solution
How to open-source software
How to work with large datasets
How to connect with other, like-minded colleagues at the state that worked on something similar
Who is a good fit for this service
This service helps like-minded technical colleagues, and leaders of technical teams, figure out how to scope a problem using best practices. This involves thinking about personnel, feasibility, roadmaps, infrastructure, and technical approaches. The outcome is a well-constructed plan on how to solve the problem using the best available resources.
