Andy Nguyen Independent Consultant

Data, tools,
and better
decisions.

My background is in semiconductor manufacturing — where data has to drive real decisions and tools have to work for the people using them. That standard travels. I apply it wherever the problem is worth solving.

What I do

insight → workflow → software.

Start with analysis. Automate what works. Build only when needed.

Analysis

Decision-ready findings

From raw operational data to the numbers that actually change how a decision gets made.

Automation

Workflows that run without you

Triggered, connected, and delivered — without manual steps getting in the way.

Product

Built end to end

Purpose-built applications designed around the people who have to use them every day.

Work
  • Situation Capacity and demand planning done without reliable analysis or scenario models
    Response

    Smart Manufacturing Analytics

    Analysis and tools for semiconductor manufacturing planning — from capacity bottlenecks and tool requirements to demand scenarios and investment calls.

    View project
  • Situation Hundreds of tool footprints to fit on a fixed floor — CAD-based planning done manually, with no automated alternative
    Response

    Layout Optimization — Fab Floor Planning

    Automated polygon placement for semiconductor fab floor planning. Handles varied tool footprints, configurable placement rules, and full auditability — so planners can understand, validate, and adjust the output without a data scientist in the loop.

  • Situation Reporting that only happens when someone has time to run it
    Response

    Automated Report Flow

    A pipeline that pulls, formats, and delivers analytics reports on a fixed schedule; No manual steps, always in the right inbox.

  • Situation Invoices arriving by email, logged manually into spreadsheets
    Response

    Invoice Automation

    An n8n AI workflow that captures invoices from incoming email, extracts the data automatically, and routes it to a spreadsheet and team channels — no manual entry.

  • Situation Data available but no narrative — numbers without context don't drive decisions
    Response

    Data Storytelling — Analysis & Dashboard

    Taking raw behavioral data, extracting patterns through SQL, and building a story around the findings — delivered as an interactive, explorable dashboard.

How I work

Context before solution

I start by understanding the environment the work will live in — the team, the constraints, the decisions it needs to support. Analysis without that context tends to miss.

Fit over completeness

A smaller, sharper deliverable that gets used beats a comprehensive one that sits on a shelf. I size the work to the decision, not to a methodology.

Build, don't just recommend

I deliver working analysis and tools — not decks with suggestions. The output should travel back into how the team actually works.
