“Data, ethics, and communication — helping organizations turn complexity into clear, people-centered action.”
Bridging Data and Humanity
I’m Dan Byer — founder of dbsds, Dan Byer Social Data Science.
For years, I worked in strategic public communication, operational research, and civic analysis — helping leaders navigate complex, high-stakes information environments. That work taught me a powerful lesson: clarity builds trust.
Today, I help cities, nonprofits, researchers, and contractors harness the power of data in ways that are practical, ethical, and deeply human.

dbsds is built on more than just analytics skills. It’s built on:
- Strategic communication under pressure
- Operational insight rooted in real-world needs
- Respect for community and dignity

I bring not just code — but care.
