Lucido Technology Consulting
Own Your Educational Data. Building a data-first foundation for California public schools — local infrastructure, interoperable pipelines, and FERPA-aligned analytics that stay under your control.
What We Do
We help K-12 school districts break free from vendor lock-in with open-source, local-first data infrastructure. Our work spans:
- Infrastructure Audit — Assess current data systems and identify sovereignty gaps
- Pipeline Architecture — Design ETL/ELT pipelines for CALPADS, SIS, and assessment data
- Data Governance — FERPA-compliant governance with role-based access and audit logging
- Analytics Stack — DuckDB + Polars + Apache Arrow for millisecond queries on-premises
- FERPA Compliance — Ensure all student data stays within district control
Open-Source Stack
| Technology | Role |
|---|---|
| DuckDB | In-process analytical engine — sub-10ms queries |
| Polars | Fast DataFrame library for ETL workloads |
| Apache Arrow | Columnar format for zero-copy data sharing |
| dbt | Data transformation and lineage |
On Hugging Face
We publish models, datasets, and Spaces focused on educational data use cases — text classification for student support, entity recognition for administrative workflows, and open datasets for equity analytics. Everything we share here is built to be practical, reproducible, and aligned with our mission of data sovereignty.
