MARTIN DOUGE · DATA, TEACHING & RESEARCH
Making information
useful to people.
I work where data, technology, and learning meet—helping people understand the tools, ask better questions, and make sense of what they find.
I’m Martin Douge. Since January 2024, I have supported data analytics and machine learning education as a teaching assistant with the Northwest Innovation Resource Center (NWIRC) in Bellingham, Washington. I continue to work as an informational researcher with Source to Share, a Bellingham business intelligence and analytics consultancy. I am currently helping teach AI for Business Analytics.
The work I bring together
Analysis is only useful when people can understand it, question it, and put it to work.
01 / ANALYTICS
Data analysis & reporting
I work with data preparation, exploration, and visualization, connecting the business question to the structure of the data and the way results are presented. My teaching support includes SQL, Python, Excel, Power BI, and machine learning fundamentals.

02 / EDUCATION
Online teaching & learning
I help learners work through technical concepts at a usable pace. That includes lesson materials, practical exercises, troubleshooting, and clear explanations for people arriving with different levels of experience.

03 / RESEARCH
Information research & AI
My work brings together source evaluation, synthesis, and clear communication. In AI for Business Analytics, I help connect emerging tools to practical work while keeping human judgment, evidence, and verification in view.

04 / MANAGEMENT
Management development & communications
My background in managing day-to-day operations informs how I approach learning and communication. I’m interested in helping people clarify responsibilities, organize information, and explain decisions in ways that others can understand and use.
Operational experience · Clear communication · Team learning
Start with the question.
The software matters, but so do the person using it, the information they have, and the decision they need to make. My approach is to make the process understandable, check the result, and keep the original purpose in sight.
Research & working notes
A place for the questions I’m working through, the frameworks I’m developing, and the practical lessons that connect them.
SYSTEMS THINKING / WORKING PAPER
Systems, Babel,
and Erosion
How can every part of a system appear to work while the whole becomes harder to understand, coordinate, or use? My Babel-SEE paper explores that question through differentiation, corrective burden, and the loss of coherence.
