Scott Fischer

Rochester, NY

I bring visual design principles to data architecture, turning messy customer data into clear business insights. Currently building an entire marketing data infrastructure from scratch — think databases, automated reporting, and CRM systems that actually work.

Based in Rochester, NY with my wife, son, and our two cats.

What I'm Working On

Infrastructure

Data Pipeline & System Architecture

Impact: Built the data and operational foundation needed for strategic marketing analysis and automated workflows

With no unified customer data and customer communications scattered across Sugar CRM and Outlook, I built the infrastructure to connect these isolated marketing systems through HubSpot Service Hub migration and a data repository enabling Python and SQL analysis via Jupyter notebooks.

Analysis

Customer Intelligence & Predictive Modeling

Impact: Moving away from intuition by creating predictive analytics and customer intelligence infrastructure to enable data-driven marketing decisions

Without campaign measurement or sales context due to siloed customer data and no regular reporting. I built automated cross-platform reporting, developed predictive models linking website behavior to sales, implemented RFM customer segmentation, and created customer journey tracking frameworks to measure funnel performance at each stage.
