Parvez PothiawalaData trackers & dashboards

About

I'm Parvez. I build the pipes.

I spent 15+ years in marketing, running customer and lifecycle programs and building the systems under them: the taxonomy and data checks that decide whether a team can trust its own reporting.

In 2026 I pointed that discipline at public data and built poliboards.us, a set of independent dashboards on U.S. politics, Illinois news and climate. Threshkeep is the same work, done for organizations that need a tracker of their own.

I'm based in Chicago and work with teams anywhere in the U.S.

Background

The short version, most recent first.

How I work

Collect where permitted, ask where not

When a source blocks automated access, I email and ask instead of working around it. That is how Climate Signals got its sea ice data.

Say what the data can't see

Every board states its limits. A count of coverage is not a measure of sentiment, and I don't pretend it is.

Publish the mistakes

Errors go in a public corrections log: what was wrong, what's right and how it was caught.
