From scattered data sources to numbers you can build on.

I turn operational data into a strategic asset, reliably connected and clearly presented.

Running a business means making decisions.

Business intelligence is not about charts and numbers, and it does not predict the future. It builds a foundation that makes sure everyone in the company shares the same picture of where things stand.

Without that shared picture, everyone fills the gaps themselves. Staff and management make different assumptions, and without anyone noticing, the vision and reality drift apart.

That costs time, money, and trust, usually only visible once it is too late.

Running a business stays a matter of instinct, experience, and nerve. Business intelligence does not take over that role, but it fixes the starting point: the facts everyone agrees on, and the base the rest of the organization builds on. From there you stand stronger, not because you sound more convincing, but because your story is backed by evidence.

HOW?

Three things I do for your organization.

Data in order

Your sources unlocked, cleaned, and connected into one tidy structure: the foundation the rest builds on.

Analysis and enrichment

Your data refined into the backbone of your company, enriched with public and private sources to back up insight.

Dashboards and reporting

Dashboard, reporting, or integrated into your existing systems: presented the way that works for your company.

What working together looks like.

1 Intake A conversation about what I can do for you: your strategy, which systems you use, and what has already been tried.

2 Proposal A concrete plan with scope and approach: what will we make visible, for whom, and with what goal.

3 Development Iterative building, with regular check-ins to adjust course together.

4 Delivery As a dashboard, a report, or integrated into your existing systems: a story that fits your strategy.

MY VIEW

Why choose Butter & Bread Data?

Butter & Bread Data sets itself apart by putting that foundation in place properly. Advanced analytics, automation, and AI offer great opportunities. All of these developments call for a stable base and infrastructure.

In my years as a developer I have seen how a tool choice can create a dependency on large American players. Switching then becomes difficult, leaving you exposed to price increases, their strategic choices, and finding the right expertise.

Butter & Bread Data is therefore built on open standards, modular, and on European infrastructure. That keeps you from getting stuck on outdated technology, keeps parts easy to replace, and relies on tools that are widely used in the field. A side benefit: costs stay low.

HOW I BUILD

Architecture principles

Open standards Built on proven open-source tools and trusted languages like SQL and Python: no closed platform, no locked-down system.

European infrastructure Runs on European cloud infrastructure, not tied to a single American vendor.

Chosen by engineers Tools engineers would pick themselves: code over drag-and-drop, ergonomic to work with.

Modular by design Storage, processing, orchestration, and presentation kept separate, each part replaceable on its own. That makes switching to a more modern stack or different storage never a major project.

Infrastructure-as-code Fast to set up, deployable within days on any cloud provider. Runs on simple virtual machines, which usually keeps costs lower than expensive proprietary services.

Agent-native One clean monorepo with documented principles, ready for AI agents to work in.

Butter & Bread is not hype or buzz, but daily bread.
We provide the foundation your company builds on.
