Most organizations don't need another platform.
They need their actual problems solved.
Enterprise software is priced for armies — armies to build it, armies to sell it, armies to sit through the rollout. So targeted problems go unsolved, because no one can justify the overhead for a tool that does one thing well.
Polecat works from the other direction. Thirty years of enterprise data experience sets the architecture, the standards, and the taste; AI agents do the building, testing, and shipping — continuously, in public, with every change gated and reversible. That changes the cost of software so much that "a precise tool for your exact problem" becomes the cheap option, not the extravagant one.
The goal is simple: elevate how organizations work, operate, and analyze — by streamlining and simplifying, not by adding another layer. Fewer moving parts, clearer data, tools people actually enjoy using.
The apps
Every tile is live and free — versions and ship dates come straight from each app's changelog. This is what agent-scale development looks like in production.
A factory that never sleeps
The same factory is available for your targeted problem. That's the pitch, and the site you're reading is the proof.
Independent data, analytics & AI consulting
I help organizations design, modernize, and improve data platforms, analytics environments, and AI-enabled solutions — moving fluidly from executive strategy to architecture to hands-on implementation and delivery. You don't have to choose between a strategist who can't build and a builder who can't see the business.
The unusual part isn't any single skill — it's operating credibly at four levels at once:
Assess → strategize → roadmap → prototype → implement → troubleshoot → enable your team to run it. Start anywhere in that chain; I've done every link of it for thirty years.

I've spent thirty years in enterprise data — from building predictive models in the '90s, through senior partner at Inquidia Consulting and director roles at FICO, to leading Pentaho Professional Services globally at Hitachi Vantara: large-scale data and analytics delivery, cloud migrations, GenAI product extensions, and the escalations nobody else wanted. Florida, then Northwestern, before all of it. Chicago ever since.
Polecat is what happens when all of that meets agent-scale development: an independent practice and an open-source software collective — of one — building the kind of precise, joyful tools I always wished every company could have. Enterprise-grade elegance, finally cost-effective for everyone from the smallest startup to the largest enterprise. The agents don't sleep. I occasionally do.
