About Data Whisperer LLC
Decades of Experience. One Focus: Your Data.
Data Whisperer LLC was founded by Trevor Pugh — an engineer who has spent more than three decades making industrial data systems work in the world's most demanding environments.
Founder, Data Whisperer LLC
Trevor Pugh
Trevor Pugh has spent over 30 years working at the intersection of industrial operations and data systems. His career spans the full data pipeline — from sensor selection and signal conditioning in the field, through communications networks and data acquisition systems, to cloud platforms and executive dashboards.
He has worked across mining, oil and gas, geothermal energy, carbon capture and sequestration, and large-scale SCADA systems — both in the field and in the server room. That dual perspective is rare, and it's what allows Data Whisperer LLC to find data quality problems that purely IT-focused consultants miss, and operational issues that purely software-focused consultants don't understand.
Trevor has also been involved in industrial technology development and holds experience in assessing the commercial viability of technical innovations — the foundation of the patent advisory service offered by Data Whisperer LLC.

How We Work
Data Whisperer LLC operates as a focused consultancy. We take on a small number of engagements at a time to ensure every client gets genuine attention and expertise — not a junior team following a template. Every engagement starts with a thorough understanding of your specific environment, systems, and operational goals. We don't sell products or represent vendors, which means our recommendations are always based on what's right for your situation.
