Data analytics & machine learning consulting
Clear dashboards and machine learning you can put to work. I build them with you, then hand them off so your team can trust the numbers and act on them.

Core capabilities
I keep the work focused: dashboards that give everyone the same picture of the business, and machine learning that starts only once the decision is clear.
Reports your leaders and your staff can both trust, built on metric definitions everyone has agreed on.
Predictive models built around a real decision, so the results get used instead of sitting unopened.
Free assessment
A nine-question self-assessment covering your data infrastructure, your reporting, and your readiness for predictive work. You get a scorecard and clear next steps. No account required.

Approach
I work with you directly and do the building myself. The scope stays tight and we check in often, so you can change direction before too much has been built.
01
We start with the decision you need to make, not with a tool. If the question is still vague, we make it specific before anything gets built.
02
I review your data sources, definitions, and gaps. You get an honest picture of what you can rely on today, and what has to change before a dashboard or a model will hold up.
03
Dashboards, metrics, or a focused model, with regular check-ins so you can steer the work. I build in the tools you already own whenever that is the better option, rather than replacing what works.
04
You get documentation, training, and a system your team owns outright. If you want me to keep maintaining it, I am glad to. If you would rather run it in-house, everything is already documented and ready to pass off.
Ownership
Everything I build for you is your property, documented well enough to pass to someone else at any time. Ongoing maintenance is available because it is useful, not because you would be stuck without it.
Dashboards, models, code, and documentation belong to you from the first day. There is no license to renew and nothing held back to keep you tied to me.
Documentation is written while the work happens, not assembled at the end. Another analyst could pick up where I left off without a long explanation from me.
I can maintain your reports and automations on an ongoing basis. You can also bring everything in-house whenever it suits you, because the handoff package stays ready.
Insights
These are common situations rather than named client projects. They show the problems I see most often and how I approach solving them.
Operations
When HR, housing, dining, and finance each keep their own spreadsheets, leaders spend meetings working out whose numbers are right. One dashboard built on agreed definitions moves the conversation from comparing reports to making the decision.
Planning
Planning slows down when actual results take several exports to pull together. Connecting the budget to operational data such as staffing, occupancy, and volume lets leaders catch problems weekly instead of at the end of the quarter.
Prediction
Predictive work starts with the decision it supports, whether that is demand, staffing, or risk. The result is not a file of code. It is a prediction shown where your team already works, with the assumptions written down so someone else can run it again.
About
Founder & Principal Analyst
I am Assistant Director of Strategic Financial Planning and Integration at Arizona State University. For four years I have built dashboards and analysis that leaders rely on across HR, operations, housing and dining, and other parts of a large organization.
Vantage Point Analytics brings that same work to your organization. I start with the decision you need to make, build the simplest system that answers it, and leave your team with a documented system they own outright — whether they run it themselves or keep me on to maintain it.

Discovery calls are short and direct. We will cover what you need to see, whether I am the right person to build it, and what a first project would include.
