Celerity Education Data Systems
Jul 2025 — Present · Austin, TX, US
As a technology leader, founder, and builder with 20+ years of experience delivering data systems, open-source solutions, and secure infrastructure for education, nonprofits, and government, I love to see end users get what they need from tech. My career has taken me from building hiring systems at the White House and IT modernization at the U.S. Department of Education, to leading core product development for the Ed-Fi Alliance and founding multiple edtech & IT ventures.Now, as Founder of Celerity Education Data Systems, I’m focused on solving one of the most pressing challenges in K–12: enabling secure, scalable, and interoperable data infrastructure for Education Service Centers and districts.Celerity provides:• Rapid, automated deployments of Ed-Fi and analytics environments — cutting setup from weeks to hours AND reducing the need of highly-specialized staff.• The Celerity Console, a secure hub for onboarding, support, and configuration.• Celerity Analytics, powered by Apache Superset, delivering ready-to-use dashboards for CCR, early warning, and equity.• Enterprise-grade cybersecurity, compliance, and uptime for districts and ESCs managing sensitive student data.Our mission is simple: help school systems spend less time wrestling with data systems and more time supporting students.
