2️⃣ CDSS is in the middle of a once in a generation overhaul of its data infrastructure, bringing together all of its legacy data systems into a unified, cloud-based platform. We’re uniquely positioned to use admin data to break down program siloes and “stitch together the safety net”.

Joaquin Carbonell @joaquinc.bsky.social · Aug 19

1️⃣ we are an applied research shop: our goal is to generate insights that can improve CDSS programs. But we don’t just answer questions on-demand. We want to proactively identify problems or opportunities for improvement and contribute to a body of knowledge about our programs.
