Our Work

Team

Our staff includes data engineers, statisticians, and civic technologists with backgrounds in public sector information systems.

Team members have experience building or managing data pipelines for federal agencies, state data offices, or public research institutions. Many hold advanced degrees in statistics, computer science, or public policy. Our engineers specialize in scalable ingestion of census microdata andtabular formats, while statisticians ensure methodological fidelity during normalization. Civic technologists focus on interface design for non-technical users and accessibility for diverse platforms.

We maintain close ties with Census Bureau technical teams and advisory groups, ensuring alignment with evolving standards like new geographic boundary files or new variable definitions. This collaboration helps us interpret metadata changes, implement corrections quickly, and reduce errors during data transformation. Our developers contribute patches to open-source tools used in federal data workflows, reinforcing shared best practices.

Staff training emphasizes legal and ethical responsibilities under Title 13, data confidentiality protocols, and statistical literacy. All team members undergo annual compliance review and have access to official Census Bureau training modules. This ensures consistent understanding of legal boundaries and technical constraints when handling sensitive demographic information.
