About
Soft Science Studio is a revived professional studio at the intersection of data, technology, AI, systems, and people — a platform for consulting work and a public record of technical curiosity, learning, and real projects.
Where it came from
"Soft" signals people, communication, accessibility, care, and context. "Science" signals evidence, systems, experimentation, and technical credibility. "Studio" leaves room to consult, build, train, analyze, collaborate, and publish — without pretending to be a large agency.
The strongest version of this work isn't "makes dashboards." It's this: give Ismael a messy organizational problem involving data or technology, and he can help figure out what the real problem is, design a useful response, build or coordinate the solution, and explain it to nontechnical people.
Background
SQL and BigQuery, BI and dashboards, Python and automation, digital and website analytics, CRM and data systems.
Training and stakeholder communication, nonprofit and progressive-sector experience, cross-functional troubleshooting.
Analytics engineering, data engineering, AI, and MCP — including a shipped MCP server connecting Python, an API, BigQuery, and tests to an AI desktop client.
Right now
After 5+ years across data, product, technology, and digital strategy, Ismael is using a career transition to learn, build, ship, and explore work at the intersection of data, product, and AI. Several promising conversations are underway.
