What We Do

We Build the Data Foundation Your Business Actually Needs

01
Data Engineering
Your team shouldn't be spending half their week wrangling CSV files and fixing broken ETL jobs. We design and build data pipelines using tools like dbt, Airflow, and Spark that move your data from source to warehouse cleanly and on schedule — built to hold up as your sources change.
02
Analytics & Insights
Most companies are sitting on answers they can't see because their data is scattered across a dozen tools. We connect the dots, build dashboards your team will actually use, and set up self-service reporting so people stop waiting on the "data person" for every question.
03
Artificial Intelligence & ML
AI is only as good as the data feeding it. Once your foundation is solid, we build and deploy ML models that do real work: forecasting demand, flagging anomalies, automating manual processes, or powering recommendation engines. No science projects, just models that ship to production.
04
Cloud Strategy & Migration
Whether you're moving off legacy on-prem systems or trying to get your AWS bill under control, we've been through it. We architect cloud environments on AWS, Azure, or GCP that are right-sized for your workload — not overbuilt for someone else's. Migration plans that don't blow up your weekend.
05
Data Governance & Compliance
If nobody on your team can explain where a number came from or whether it's right, you have a governance problem. We set up data quality checks, lineage tracking, and access controls so your data is clean, auditable, and ready when compliance comes knocking — whether that's HIPAA, SOX, or internal policy.
06
Digital Transformation
The term "digital transformation" gets thrown around a lot, but here's what it actually means: your team is still running on spreadsheets and manual processes, and it's costing you. We come in, figure out where the bottlenecks are, and build the systems to fix them — starting with data, because everything else depends on it.
Who We Are

We've Been in Your Shoes.
That's Why This Works.

NGDA was built by engineers who spent years inside large organizations building the data systems those companies ran on — and saw the same problems everywhere. Messy data. Broken pipelines. Teams that wanted to use AI but couldn't because the foundation wasn't there. So we built a firm that fixes that.

We're a small team by design. When you work with us, you're working directly with senior people who've actually built these systems in production — not junior consultants learning on your dime. We focus on mid-market companies because that's where we can make the biggest difference the fastest.

Data Driven. Future Proven.
You Work with the People Who Do the Work
No bait-and-switch. The person on the scoping call is the person building your pipeline. We've spent years in Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, AWS, Databricks, and Spark — and we bring that hands-on experience to every engagement.
We Ship Systems, Not Slide Decks
We've all sat through the 80-page strategy deck that collects dust. We'd rather spend that time building something that runs in production. Every engagement ends with working infrastructure, not a recommendations PDF.
Right-Sized for Your Business
You don't need a 40-person consulting army to build a data pipeline. We scope engagements to what you actually need, with flexible engagement models — project-based or ongoing, depending on what fits. You'll know the scope and the shape of the work before we begin.
We Set You Up to Run It Without Us
Our goal is to make your team self-sufficient, not dependent. We document everything, train your people, and build systems that your in-house team can own and extend long after we're done.
Impact
Over $1M in measurable impact from data nobody could trust.

Most operations aren't missing data — they're missing data that reconciles. When your systems disagree, the cost shows up as capacity you never recover and decisions made on numbers people quietly work around.

Most recent engagement

A high-speed production line where MES, historian, and order data never lined up. OEE reporting existed, but when it disagreed with the operator's count, the operator won — so it wasn't driving decisions.

We traced the failures to root cause: joins at the wrong grain, timestamp misalignment, and gaps in order events. Fixed at the logic level, then rebuilt to hold up at one-second cycle resolution.

Recovered capacity delivered mid-six-figure annual profit impact.
