Welcome to consultDBA, a space for exploring the intersection of technology, economics, and artificial intelligence.

I write here under the pseudonym Nathan Cole. This allows me to keep my professional IT career and personal consulting initiatives distinct, while still sharing insights openly and building a knowledge base around Generative AI and macroeconomics. If this project grows into something larger, I want readers and clients to understand clearly that Nathan Cole is a writing and consulting identity — not my legal name.

Who I Am & Why I Write

For over 20 years, I’ve worked in technology — from SQL database architecture to IT leadership — where reliability, scalability, and precision were essential. I bring the same mindset into AI consulting today, helping organizations adopt no-code and low-code Generative AI solutions that deliver results quickly and responsibly.

Alongside my tech career, I hold an MBA with a concentration in Economics and have long been fascinated by global macroeconomic trends. While I’m not a professional economist, I use this blog to publish macroeconomic essays as demonstrations of AI’s analytical potential, not as financial advice.

What You’ll Find Here

Macro Essays & Forecasts — explorations of economic shifts, informed by AI analysis.
AI Showcases — practical demonstrations of how Generative AI can model, interpret, or visualize complex ideas.
Reflections on Tech & Strategy — commentary on the broader implications of AI adoption.

Think of consultDBA as my sandbox for ideas and AI experiments — a place to test what’s possible and share what I learn.

Consulting Work

For businesses seeking practical guidance, I also work as an AI consultant under the Nathan Cole brand. My focus is practical, no-code solutions that solve immediate problems and create pathways for long-term innovation.

Final Note

This pseudonym is about clarity, not disguise. My goal is to build a brand that shares insights transparently, experiments with new tools, and connects with people who are curious about the future of AI and economics.

Nathan Cole

I’m Nathan Cole, an AI consultant and writer based in Calgary. My mission is simple: help organizations harness the power of Generative AI with practical, no-code and low-code solutions that create measurable results. For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, data, and business strategy. My professional background began in database architecture and IT leadership, where I led teams in designing, scaling, and securing mission-critical systems. This foundation taught me the value of precision, resilience, and clarity in technology solutions — values I carry into my AI consulting practice today. Alongside my work in technology, I hold an MBA with a concentration in Economics, and I’ve long been fascinated by macroeconomic trends. While I am not a professional economist, I write extensively on economic and geopolitical shifts as a way to explore how AI can be applied to complex, real-world problems. My macroeconomic essays are not forecasts for investment, but demonstrations of how advanced AI can process information, uncover insights, and spark strategic thinking. Through my consultancy, I help businesses of all sizes unlock the potential of AI — whether that’s automating workflows, creating intelligent chat interfaces, or building custom solutions that save time and drive innovation. My approach is hands-on, ethical, and client-focused: I don’t believe in hype or one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, I work with you to design practical AI strategies that fit your business and your goals. At the same time, my writing on economics and technology offers a window into how I think about the bigger picture: how markets evolve, how technology reshapes industries, and how we can use AI responsibly to thrive in a changing world. If you’re looking for a partner who combines deep technical experience with a strategic, future-oriented perspective, I’d be glad to connect.
