AI for Data & Analytics Coaches

I'm the founder and CEO of Learning Journey AI, where I've helped 100+ professionals develop practical, hands-on AI skills through workshops, training programs, and community events. I organize the DC AI Dinner Series and regularly work with professionals across industries to make AI approachable and immediately useful. I have built an MCP server for the Congress.gov API and have created hundreds of data visualizations over my career. You can see more of my projects at https://nickwagner.info/projects. My background spans the full arc from technical research to government policy. I hold a PhD in Materials Science from Northwestern, where I applied machine learning to materials discovery with research cited over 800 times. I've since spent a decade at the intersection of AI and government, including authoring AI test and evaluation guidance for the DoD Chief Digital and AI Office at IDA, and developing program evaluation strategy for NSF's $540M AI Institutes portfolio as an AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow.

Certified Data Engineer with deep background in ETL, data warehousing, and analytics pipelines built at Accenture and ISG. At ISG, Provider Lens reports were produced evaluating cloud and data infrastructure for enterprise clients globally. AI-powered data pipelines built for clients in financial services, automotive, insurance, and rail. Google Cloud Platform certified. The work is about connecting data to decisions, and that is exactly what gets taught.

Most AI coaches teach concepts. I teach you how to actually use it. There's a big difference between understanding how AI works and knowing how to apply it to a real problem, in a real job, under real constraints. I've spent years on the practitioner side, building production AI systems, navigating the messy parts nobody puts in tutorials, and figuring out what actually sticks when you're trying to get people to change how they work. That hands-on experience is what shapes how I coach. I love that no two learners are the same. Some people want the technical deep dive. Others need someone to cut through the noise and show them what matters for their specific situation. I've worked with everyone from seasoned engineers to executives who'd never written a line of code, and the most rewarding part is meeting someone exactly where they are and watching things start to click. What I'm particularly good at is helping people move from "I kind of get it" to "I know exactly what to do next." That might look like working through a real project together, strengthening your understanding of a concept, or building out the kind of portfolio that shows employers you can execute and not just explain. If you're serious about building real AI skills and want a coach who's genuinely been in the trenches, I'd love to work with you.

I’ve built data pipelines, ETL jobs, and analytics tooling across both enterprise and startup environments. At Deloitte, I worked on cloud strategy and data infrastructure projects, and I’ve also helped startups and small businesses stand up ETL workflows, automate reporting, and build custom tools to make their data usable. My technical work spans clustering, NLP, LLM API-driven analysis, cloud architecture, and data storage systems, with additional training in discrete math and algorithms. I also bring a broader strategic lens than most technical coaches. I’ve worked with Palantir as a client and have done extensive analysis across the data infrastructure landscape, including companies like Snowflake and Datadog and transactions involving businesses like Scale AI. That lets me help clients at both levels: the granular technical detail of how data and AI systems actually work, and the higher-level strategic understanding of why these systems matter and how to communicate that value. Whether you’re trying to break into data and AI, sharpen your technical foundation, or better position your experience, I can help.
