Okay so, you're on a city page, probably kicking tires, wondering if I'm just another consultant trying to sell you something you don't need. Let me be clear: I'm a solo operator, A.I. Consulting LLC, and I'm based out of Florida. But I work remotely with clients everywhere, including a number right here in Dallas, Texas. What I offer isn't some abstract vision; it's hands-on work to solve specific problems using machine learning and data science.
I understand that for many businesses in Dallas, the idea of 'AI' feels a bit like science fiction. You hear about big companies doing big things, and you might think it's out of reach for your operation. My approach is different. I focus on finding the small, impactful ways that data science and machine learning can make a real difference for your business, typically starting with a clear, defined problem.
## What I actually do for Dallas clients
When a Dallas business reaches out, it's usually because they have a specific problem they think data or an intelligent system could help with. Maybe they've got tons of customer data but don't know what it's telling them about churn. Or perhaps they're wasting hours on a manual process that could clearly be automated with some smart logic. I come in, look at the data, and build custom models or data pipelines to address those kinds of issues. I'm not just giving you a report; I'm building a working solution.
Think things like predictive models to forecast demand more accurately, systems to categorize customer feedback automatically, or algorithms to optimize pricing strategies. I've helped businesses here in Dallas fine-tune their operations and make better, data-driven decisions. It's about practical applications, not just academic exercises.
## How a Dallas engagement usually goes
1. **Week 1: Discovery & Scoping.** We'll have a few calls, and I'll ask a lot of questions about your business, your data, and the problem you're trying to solve. I'll need access to whatever relevant data you have. By the end of this week, I'll have a clear understanding of the project's scope, deliverables, and estimated timeline. I'll send over a project proposal with a fixed fee, usually. 2. **Weeks 2-4: Data Prep & Initial Modeling.** This is where I roll up my sleeves. I'll be cleaning and preparing your data, which is often the most time-consuming part. Then, I'll start building initial machine learning models or data analysis scripts. I'll keep you updated with regular check-ins, usually once a week, to show progress and get your feedback. 3. **Weeks 5-8 (or more, depending): Iteration & Refinement.** We'll review the model's performance, refine it based on real-world constraints and your feedback, and ensure it's meeting the project goals. This often involves several rounds of adjustments to get things just right. I might deliver preliminary results at this stage for you to test. 4. **Final Delivery & Handoff.** Once the solution is solid, I'll deliver the final models, code, or data insights. I'll provide clear documentation and, if applicable, instructions on how to integrate the solution into your existing systems. My goal is for you to be able to use what I've built effectively, without me needing to be there holding your hand constantly.
## What it costs, roughly
I work on a fixed-fee basis for most projects because I think it's fairer to you. No surprises. For a typical pilot project or a well-defined model build, you're usually looking at a range starting from a few thousand dollars and going up depending on the complexity and duration. These aren't cheap projects, but they're priced to deliver real value. I'm happy to give you a clear quote once I understand your specific needs. There's no hourly meter ticking away that you have to worry about.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm probably not the right fit if you're looking for a massive, multi-year digital transformation project with a large team. I'm also not the guy if you need someone on-site in Dallas five days a week. I operate remotely, and while I'm always available for calls, I don't do in-person office hours. Furthermore, if you're just 'exploring AI' without a clear business problem in mind, I might suggest doing some internal brainstorming first. I work best with businesses that have a specific pain point they believe data or a smart system could help alleviate.
## Getting in touch
If you're a Dallas business leader or owner with a specific data science or machine learning challenge, and you appreciate a straightforward, no-frills approach, I'd love to hear from you. The best way to start is to book a 20-min call. We can chat about your situation, and I can tell you honestly if I think I can help. No pressure, just a conversation.
FAQs — Dallas
How do I know if machine learning or data science is worth it for my Dallas business?
Usually, it's worth exploring if you have a recurring problem involving a lot of data, or if you're making important decisions based on gut feelings rather than numbers. If you're spending a lot of time on repetitive analysis or wish you could predict certain outcomes, that's a good sign.
Do you work with companies outside Dallas, Texas?
Yes, absolutely. While I do work with clients in Dallas, I operate remotely and serve businesses across the U.S. and even internationally. My location in Florida doesn't stop me from delivering great results for clients anywhere.
What does the first 2 weeks of an engagement look like?
The first week is mostly discovery, where we define the project scope and deliverables. The second week usually involves me getting access to your data and beginning the initial cleaning and preparation phase, which is crucial for any successful data science project.
What kind of data do I need to have for you to help?
Ideally, you'd have historical data relevant to the problem you want to solve, stored in a structured format like spreadsheets, databases, or cloud storage. Don't worry if it's messy; cleaning data is a big part of what I do.
Will I own the models and code you develop for my Dallas business?
Yes, once a project is completed and paid for, you retain full ownership of all the models, code, and insights I develop for your business. My goal is to deliver a solution that you can use independently.
