Data analytics, AI, and intelligence

Alexander Chacon

I build systems that turn data into decisions. Founder of Cupola. Available for consulting.

About

Data, AI, and competitive intelligence

The gap between raw data and a decision worth making is almost never a math problem.

I am a data analyst and AI engineer finishing my M.S. Business Analytics at the University of Denver. Before the graduate program, I spent four years as a Technical and Data Analyst for DU Athletics, building real-time performance pipelines for the volleyball program and producing statistical reports that went directly into coaching decisions.

That work taught me that it is a pipeline, a framing, and a habit of asking the right question first. I brought that approach to Cupola, an AI-native competitive intelligence platform that automates market research for businesses that cannot afford a full analyst team but cannot afford to fly blind either.

My technical foundation covers SQL, Python, R, machine learning, and LLM pipeline design. I hold an Azure AI Fundamentals certification and am actively building at the intersection of analytics and applied AI.

What I do

Analytics and Intelligence

KPI design, variance analysis, forecasting, and executive dashboard development. I build reporting systems that go from raw operational data to a decision worth making, not just a chart worth looking at.

AI Pipeline Design

Multi-agent workflows for automated research, classification, and synthesis using the Claude API and Python. The same architecture behind Cupola, scoped and adapted to your use case.

Data Engineering

ETL pipelines, data warehouse design (star and snowflake schemas), and SQL modeling. Clean, well-structured data as the foundation for everything that depends on it.

Web and App Development

Production web and app development with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. From marketing sites to full-stack tools on Supabase and Vercel, built fast and shipped clean.
