I'm Derek Bowens, founder and operator of Bowens Data Solutions.

I spent nine years as an intelligence analyst in the Air Force, working network data and metadata to support the warfighter. I left to find you money instead of America's bad guys.

The most useful thing I learned there had nothing to do with data. My leadership never wanted to get into the weeds with me, they needed to know what the data was telling us. That's the job I do for you now.

I work with med spas, gyms, salons, restaurants, and clinics, businesses with a booking system, a POS, and an owner who suspects money is leaking somewhere they can't see. I find the one lever, put a dollar figure on it, and hand you the move. Not a forty-page report. Not a dashboard you'll never open.

I've been on your side of it too. Late N' Fried was my first business, and it taught me what guessing costs.

I test my methods in public. Long-form analysis goes up on Substack under Signal2Capital, where I run these same diagnostics against public company filings — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, earnings reports — because the granularity is there to prove a method works instead of just sounding like it does. Short-form breakdowns go up on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Microsoft PL-300 certified in Power BI, working in SQL and Python. I also take coursework in retail and consumer decisions and in economics, because the analysis is only as good as the understanding of the business underneath it.

Houston-based. Working nationwide.
