About Joseph Ledo-Massey | JLM Data Consulting

01Data serves decisions, not dashboards.If a finding doesn't change what you do Monday morning, it doesn't belong in the report. I'll tell you when you don't need what you're asking for.
02Dollars are the only unit that matters.Every finding arrives as a dollar figure attached to a specific action and a way to measure whether it worked.
03Useful beats perfect.A well-supported answer you can act on this month is worth more than a perfect answer that requires an experiment an eleven-person shop will never run.
04You own everything, and you won't need me afterward.Findings, cleaned data, dashboards, and plain-English refresh instructions are all handed over. I build so you're independent, not dependent.
05Fixed price, fixed scope, in writing.You know the full cost before work starts. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices, no drift.
06Your numbers stay private.Handled to a recognized security standard (CompTIA Security+), stored encrypted, never shared, deleted at close-out — committed in the contract.
07Small businesses deserve big-program rigor.There's no reason an eleven-person shop should get a looser standard — only a right-sized one.

The person behind it

Joseph Ledo-Massey

I spend my career applying disciplined engineering and cost management to some of the most demanding programs in the country — NASA's Artemis lunar program, national defense systems, satellite communications, where I currently lead a multi-discipline engineering team and am professionally accountable for cost, schedule, and technical performance. I know what it means to own a budget, not just analyze one.

As a Captain in the Army National Guard, I design data systems and analytics that support planning for one of the Army's most selective communities — work where clarity under pressure is the entire job.

I hold an MBA, a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State, and I'm pursuing an M.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Utah. The certifications cover the full arc of what JLM delivers: Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer (the infrastructure), PMP and CSEP (the delivery discipline), Earned Value Management qualification (the cost analysis), and CompTIA Security+ (the data protection).

Before engineering, I played NCAA Division I football at Davidson College — where preparation, film study, and honest self-assessment beat talent alone. Outside of work I'm in the Wasatch: mountaineering, backcountry skiing, fly fishing. I also volunteer with amateur-radio emergency communications, keeping community networks ready for when infrastructure fails.

JLM Data Consulting exists because an eleven-person shop deserves the same rigor as a billion-dollar program — sized and priced for how small businesses actually run.
