I've Been Doing This Since Before "Data-Driven" Was a Buzzword
Over 40 years building systems that turn numbers into decisions. Started in state government healthcare analytics, moved through financial sector risk modeling, then said "enough with enterprise bloat" and started helping businesses that actually need to move fast.
What I Actually Do
I build custom dashboards and analytics pipelines for small-to-midsize businesses that are tired of flying blind. No BI platform subscriptions. No consultants who disappear after the proposal. Just PHP, MySQL, and a DSL I built because every other tool was solving the wrong problem.
How We Got Here
HBG Consulting launched in 2007. The platforms — nollejBase, communityGrowthSuite, DAZL — came later when I got tired of rebuilding the same patterns for every client. Now you get 40 years of "I've seen this before" baked into tools that just work.
Clarity beats complexity. Every time.
No Proposals
I tell you what it costs, build it, and deliver it. No discovery phases or scope creep.
No Platforms
Custom code on shared hosting. Costs less, runs faster, does exactly what you need.
No Jargon
Your team needs answers, not data science lectures. I translate numbers into English.
Who's Building This
Tom Argiro
Founder. The only employee. 40 years in data analytics across state government, healthcare, finance, and about 200 small businesses that needed someone who could actually code. Also spent time as a corporate trainer, chamber exec, and portrait photographer — turns out understanding people matters as much as understanding data.
