AI & Data Consultant
I’m Yogesh Kumar R V — I help businesses make better decisions with the information they already have. Most companies are sitting on more than they realise: sales records, customer history, job costs, hours logged. The problem is rarely a lack of data. It's that the data is scattered, nobody agrees on the numbers, and answering a simple question takes half a day.
That's the work. I untangle it, automate the parts that shouldn't be manual, and give you reporting you can act on without second-guessing. I've done this inside large organizations — the Government of Alberta, the City of Edmonton, Ernst & Young — and the same problems show up in a twenty-person company, just with fewer people to absorb them.
Yogesh Strategy & Consulting is my independent practice. I work with small and mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, and public sector teams — and I explain things in plain language, because you shouldn't need a technical background to know what you're paying for.

What I offer
Capabilities delivered through Yogesh Strategy & Consulting.
AI That Does a Real Job
Put AI to work on a real job — spotting fraud, answering customer questions, or handling the repetitive reading and sorting nobody wants to do.
01
Reporting You Can Trust
Turn the numbers you already collect into a clear picture of what's working — reports that build themselves and tell you something useful.
02
Software Built to Fit
Custom tools built around how your business actually works, instead of bending your process to fit off-the-shelf software.
03
A Straight Second Opinion
An honest second opinion before you commit money — on the software you're considering, the quote you were sent, or the plan you've been handed.
04
Test an Idea Cheaply
Have an idea for a product or service? I'll help you test whether it holds up, and build a working version before you spend real money.
05
Getting It Over the Line
Projects that stall get moving again. I keep the work on track, flag problems early, and make sure it actually ships.
06Yogesh Strategy & Consulting
If your team spends more time chasing numbers than acting on them, that's a solvable problem. I help businesses in Edmonton and across Canada stop guessing — by cleaning up how information flows, automating the work that eats your week, and putting the right numbers in front of the people making decisions.
You don't need a data team or a technical background to work with me. Most engagements start with a free call where I listen, ask what's slowing you down, and tell you plainly whether it's worth fixing. Three ways clients bring me in:
Advice When You Need It
Someone in your corner before you spend money on software, a system, or a hire. I'll tell you whether that tool is worth it, whether the quote you were given is reasonable, and what I'd do instead. For owners and managers who need a straight answer from someone not selling them anything.
- A set number of hours each month
- Email me anytime, plus a regular call
- Cancel with 30 days' notice
Build It For You
A specific thing that's broken or missing, fixed and handed over. The dashboard your team actually trusts. The monthly report that stops taking three days. Two systems that finally talk to each other. Or an AI tool that does a real job instead of a demo.
- Agreed price before we start — no surprises
- Your team is shown how to run it
- Usually 4–12 weeks
Your Part-Time Data Lead
All the benefit of a senior data hire, at a fraction of the salary. I take ownership of how your business handles information, train the people you already have, and set things up so you eventually don't need me. For companies too small to justify a full-time hire but too big to keep running on spreadsheets.
- One to three days a week
- Part of your team, not an outside vendor
- Built so you can take it over
Not sure which one fits?
That's normal — most people arrive knowing something isn't working, not what to call it. Describe it in your own words. Thirty minutes free, no jargon, no pitch, and I'll tell you honestly if I'm not the right person to help.
