Data Architecture, Pipelines and Analytics Consulting

CatalytIQ Systems designs data architectures and pipelines that surface actionable insights and drive data-driven decisions across the business. I work from Brisbane with organisations that want their data to be reliable enough to act on.

Data architecture

• Understanding where data comes from and which systems are the source of truth.
• Designing data models and structures that match how the business works.
• Choosing platforms that suit your scale, skills and budget.
• Defining ownership, data quality expectations and access controls.

Data pipelines

Pipelines move, clean and transform data so it arrives where it is needed in a usable form. Good pipelines are scheduled, monitored, documented and include data quality checks, so problems are caught before they reach a report or decision.

Analytics and decision support

Analytics work starts from the decisions people need to make, then works back to the measures and data required. Defining metrics once, and consistently, avoids the familiar problem of different reports giving different answers to the same question.

Data as the foundation for AI

Most AI initiatives depend on data that is accessible, accurate and well understood. Data architecture work often goes hand in hand with AI use case identification, since data readiness is one of the main factors in whether a use case is feasible.

Typical deliverables

Depending on scope, deliverables can include:

• Current and target state data architecture.
• Pipeline designs and data mapping.
• Metric definitions and reporting requirements.
• Data quality and ownership recommendations.
