## About

Big companies make decisions with analyst teams and paid data feeds behind them. Most small businesses have a few spreadsheets, an accounting system and an AI assistant that has never seen their numbers. I help you build the **data hub** that closes that gap. It's one place where your sales, costs and customer records sit together, cleaned and connected, alongside public data on your sector such as ABS figures or building approvals. Your AI assistant reads from it, so it answers with real numbers, not guesses. That's market intelligence that used to need a corporate budget.

I've been cleaning and analysing data for over a decade. Formerly with Seabury Cargo and Accenture, I set up and managed an analytics team in Kuala Lumpur and led a global trade database overhaul. I was also Lead Data Analytics Instructor at General Assembly, teaching SQL, Python and BI to 100+ students. Through Data Duality I built Transport Oracle, a market intelligence platform for Australian freight and trade.

## Sessions I offer

- [Data Hub Fit Check](https://www.everyexpert.com/mikekoclega/book/data-hub-fit-check) — 15 min, Free
  Tell me what your business runs on (accounting software, spreadsheets, a CRM or booking system) and what you wish your AI assistant could answer. I'll tell you plainly whether a data hub would help, what it would involve, and which of my services fits, if any.
- [Data Strategy Session](https://www.everyexpert.com/mikekoclega/book/data-strategy-session) — 1 hour, $250.00
  A working session on your data and your market. We'll look at where your records live, how clean they are, and which public datasets matter for your sector, such as ABS figures, building approvals or industry statistics. You'll leave with a prioritised plan covering what to fix, what to connect and what your AI assistant could answer once it's done, plus the session summary and action items.
- [Building an Offshore Tech and Data Team in Malaysia](https://www.everyexpert.com/mikekoclega/book/offshore-team-malaysia) — 1 hour, $250.00
  Thinking of hiring tech or data staff in Malaysia? I set up and led an analytics team in Kuala Lumpur at Seabury Cargo and Accenture, and I've hired for several more offshore builds, with some costly mistakes along the way. We'll cover the real all-in costs, your own entity versus an employer of record, whether Malaysia Digital (MD) status, formerly MSC, is worth it, and when not to go offshore at all. I take no referral fees. Practical guidance, not tax or legal advice.
