About

The person behind Golden Data

I’m Paul Brown. Fourteen years turning messy data into decisions people actually trust — now building in public, AI-first, against problems anyone can see.

The work behind it

Who I am

Fourteen years in business intelligence — building governed data models for fintech at scale, propensity models that recovered eight figures of pipeline on enterprise sales channels, and the semantic layers that let a whole company read from the same numbers. Today I lead sales operations. Golden Data is the independent practice where I keep building: AI-first, in public, against problems anyone can see.

The apps below the fold aren’t a portfolio prop — they’re where I prove the patterns I write about actually hold up in production. Small consumer web apps, family and personal-life tools, two of them earning real money. React, Supabase, Vercel.

What I believe

The goal isn’t “more data.” The goal is shared understanding. If people can’t explain it in 60 seconds, it’s broken — and I can fix it.

Data is a voice, not a report. Ship versions, not fantasies. Structure protects creativity.

Golden Data is built outside of work hours, doesn’t compete with my employer’s business, and uses only publicly available material. All opinions here are my own.
