About Me
Federal FOIA expertise with deep government experience
As the primary data analyst for FOIA at the Department of Veterans Affairs, I've developed unparalleled expertise in navigating the complexities of federal transparency requirements and extracting actionable insights from government datasets.
My hands-on experience with VA FOIA operations has given me unique insight into the challenges federal agencies face—from data validation and process optimization to meeting transparency mandates while protecting sensitive information.
I leverage cutting-edge technology and AI to transform how agencies approach FOIA data. Rather than treating transparency as a compliance burden, I help organizations discover the strategic value hidden in their information assets and use data-driven decisions to modernize their FOIA processes and technology infrastructure.
When federal agencies work with Data Glass, they get more than consulting—they get a partner who understands government operations from the inside and delivers measurable improvements to both transparency and efficiency.
What data challenge can I help you solve?
