Anthony Cashaw, BS, MS — Developer & Data Analyst

PROFILE

Building things excites me

Anthony Cashaw

Developer. Analyst. Problem Solver.

Fifteen-plus years building enterprise applications and data systems — from HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms at Roswell Park to security analytics infrastructure at National Fuel to modernizing NYS K-12 systems at the Education Department. I hold a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics from Buffalo State and a B.S. in Computer Information Systems.

On the side I take on projects I believe in — nonprofits, artists, small businesses, and organizations doing work worth amplifying. If you have something worth building, let's talk.

WHAT CAN I DO?

CONSULTATION

The difference between informed decisions and good guesses compounds over the life of a project. I help teams think through architecture, technology choices, and process before writing a line of code.

APP DEVELOPMENT

Custom applications built around your workflow — not the other way around. When software fits the way you work, hours of friction disappear and your team can focus on what they're actually good at.

DATA ANALYTICS

Raw data is noise. Meaningful data is a competitive advantage. I build pipelines, dashboards, and analytical tools that turn what you're already collecting into decisions you can act on.

WEB DESIGN

First impressions happen fast. Consistent, purposeful design turns casual visitors into engaged users and lukewarm leads into repeat clients.

WEB DEVELOPMENT

Full stack PHP and Python development. Clean architecture, sensible security, and code you can actually maintain after the project ships.

SERVER ADMIN

Deployment, hardening, monitoring, and recovery for Linux/Apache environments. I've cleaned up enough compromised servers to know exactly how to keep yours from becoming one.
