Fractional Data Leader | Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | Founder, DataNicely
You're running multiple locations, entities, or brands — and the numbers don't tie. Each property or rooftop reports a little differently. Someone on your team rebuilds the same spreadsheet every month. By the time leadership sees a number, it's three weeks old and nobody fully trusts it.
That's the problem I solve: building the reporting layer underneath a business that grew faster than its systems.
WHO I WORK WITH
Operators running multiple locations, entities, or brands — property management portfolios, restaurant groups, multi-brand operators — and the advisory firms and PE sponsors behind them. Usually more systems than anyone planned for, often post-acquisition.
If you need one dashboard built on data that's already clean, I'm more than you need. If your data lives in five systems and nobody can produce a number everyone believes, that's my work.
WHAT I BUILD
RECENT WORK
• Multi-brand media operator — architected ingestion of 8 brands' ad, subscription, and engagement data into BigQuery, replacing manual cross-brand reporting with one consolidated view. Built an AI layer on top of that clean data so their team can ask questions in plain language instead of queuing requests with an analyst.
• Property management portfolios — AppFolio and operational data through automated ingestion into a reporting database and Power BI: occupancy, NOI by property, turn time, work-order backlog, days vacant. Designed so API migration doesn't mean a rebuild.
• Multi-location restaurant group — marketing analytics and tracking infrastructure across 12 locations: GA4, GTM, Meta, and campaign attribution tied back to location-level performance.
• Private equity value-creation firm — profit-by-customer analysis reconciling 2.08M transactions to the dollar, surfacing $0.6–1.1M in annually realizable margin.
Cesar R. earns an estimated $17k/mo. That's 11.6× the typical freelancer and more than 99.96% of everyone we track.
HOW I WORK
I lead every engagement from architecture through delivery, with support from a vetted team working on dedicated, secured infrastructure. Your data stays in your environment.
Everything is documented and transferable — architecture diagram, schema, data dictionary, metric definitions, source code, and a walkthrough. No black boxes, no dependency on me to keep it running. You own it.
I work on a project or retained basis rather than by the hour. Most engagements open with a scoped first phase, so you see the work before committing to the rest.
13+ years in analytics and data engineering, including senior analytics roles in banking and financial services before founding DataNicely.
If your reporting can't keep pace with your business, that's the problem I solve. Tell me what systems you're running and where the numbers break, and I'll tell you what I'd build.
