Dynamodal · Independent data & AI consulting
Senior data and AI support for consultants and organizations.
I’m Thomas Wells. Consulting firms and organizations bring me in to deliver analytics and modeling, especially in energy efficiency and electrification, to sort out their data platforms, and to help their people get real value from AI tools without taking on careless risk. I work as a subcontractor to consulting firms or directly with clients, on scoped tasks or as an embedded member of your team.
Where I help
Practical help where data, tools, and people meet
Analytics & modeling
Energy efficiency analysis and program evaluation, electrification planning, and systems and scenario modeling. Clear, defensible numbers your team and your client can act on.
AI for analytics teams
AI assistants and coding agents can multiply what a team gets done, or quietly add new risks. I help teams choose the right tools, set sensible guardrails, and build habits that stick.
Data strategy & platforms
Data model design, platform migrations, and the practical decisions that make analytics reliable, maintainable, and acceptable to IT.
Team efficiency
Internal documentation, knowledge bases, reproducible workflows, and the small “work hacks” that give a team hours back every week.
Why teams bring me in
I bridge what analysts need and what IT can support
My background runs through physics, electrical engineering, field work in Alaska’s oil fields, and years of energy consulting, with plenty of IT along the way. That mix lets me translate between what analysts and data scientists want to do, what the tools can actually do, and what IT will allow. Then I find a path that works for all three.
- I see the whole picture. I look at the workflow around a task, not just the task.
- I’m proactive. You’ll hear about risks and opportunities early, not after they’ve cost you.
- I communicate clearly. I explain things plainly to analysts, IT, managers, and clients.
- I help you work smarter. I stay current on tools and bring practical shortcuts that make a team faster.
Working together

Hourly support
Scoped tasks or ongoing help, billed hourly. Easy to start, easy to scale up or down.
Embedded
A part-time member of your team for a project or a busy season, working in your tools and your process.
Remote first
Based in western Colorado and working remotely. Happy to travel when a project calls for it.
