Practical reporting systems for complicated work.
I'm Boyd Monson, a mathematics-trained analyst with 6+ years building reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and operational data workflows in federal public health environments. I'm strongest at turning ambiguous stakeholder needs into structured processes, cleaner data, and decision-ready reporting.
Reporting clarity, analytical thinking, and systems-minded execution.
My work sits at the intersection of process, people, and information. The common thread is reporting infrastructure: gathering requirements, structuring messy operational information, building repeatable workflows, and communicating enough context for leaders and teams to act.
Business Intelligence and Reporting
- Produced recurring and ad hoc reports, forecasts, and budget analyses for federal public health portfolios averaging $100M+ annually.
- Translated stakeholder needs into structured budgets, reporting outputs, SOPs, and decision-support materials.
- Built practical Excel workflows that improved consistency, reduced user error, and made review processes easier to audit.
Public Health Operations at Scale
- Coordinated annual renewal and budget development across 11 program directors and approximately 50 funded projects.
- Helped APHL submit a fully funded $170M+ COVID-19 emergency cooperative agreement proposal in under two weeks.
- Supported work tied to public health laboratory testing, workforce, data fellowship, and informatics infrastructure.
Technical Data Systems
- Use Python, SQL/SQLite, pandas, and Excel to turn messy information into cleaner workflows and reporting.
- Build full-stack project work with FastAPI, React, TypeScript, API contracts, audit logging, and CSV import/export.
- Translate technical or policy-heavy concepts into practical guidance for non-technical users.
Case studies where operational problems become usable systems.
The strongest thread across these projects is practical business intelligence: translating messy operational problems into reliable data structures, repeatable workflows, and decision-ready outputs.
MTG Inventory Tool
A full-stack inventory and valuation system for complex, variant-heavy collectible goods. It turns product, pricing, and ownership data into searchable inventory records, auditable transactions, valuation reporting, and a React/TypeScript frontend backed by FastAPI and SQLite.
Budget Forecasting Workflow Redesign
A non-confidential case study based on replacing loose, document-based budget templates with more structured reporting workflows for federal public health grant management.
COVID-19 Emergency Proposal
- Orchestrated APHL's submission of a fully funded $170M+ emergency cooperative agreement proposal to CDC in under two weeks.
- Consolidated budgets, workplans, and federal application materials across approximately 18 projects and 5 program directors.
- Aligned program leadership, CDC officials, and administrative stakeholders during active pandemic-response operations.
A Little More About Me
A lot of my interests come back to the same basic impulse: I like noticing how things are put together. That shows up in Magic: The Gathering, where the game and the collecting side both reward careful attention to categories, exceptions, and weird edge cases. It shows up in choir, where you have to know your own part but also listen closely enough to fit into something larger than yourself. And it shows up in how I watch film and television, whether I'm seriously unpacking a movie or just enjoying the machinery of a great joke on 30 Rock.
I like structure, but I also like play, taste, and humor. I'm usually happiest when something gives me both: enough complexity to think about, and enough life that it doesn't feel sterile. That is probably why I'm drawn to work where the goal is not just to make information technically correct, but to make it usable, understandable, and less frustrating for the people dealing with it.
From mathematics to fundraising to public health operations.
Association of Public Health Laboratories
Progressed from Associate Specialist to Senior Specialist in Grants Management while supporting reporting, forecasting, renewals, SOP creation, staff training, and large cross-functional grant processes.
Grinnell College Annual Giving
Managed a student caller team, improved incentive structures, analyzed donor segments, maintained a 12,000+ record calling database, and helped raise approximately $400K annually from 1,500+ donors.
Mathematics and Statistics Foundation
Completed a B.A. in Mathematics and Statistics, worked in Ramsey Theory research, graded proof-based combinatorics, and developed the communication habits that still shape how I explain technical ideas.
