About Ascend Dataworks
A two-person data and AI team for lenders and debt buyers.

James Borden
Founder & Principal Consultant
James has more than ten years in data strategy and cloud architecture.
He builds account scoring models and collection forecasts.
He also builds reporting for servicers and collection agencies.

Austin McIntosh
Managing Partner
Austin's background is in IT project management and data engineering in automotive finance.
He now focuses on AI automation for law-firm data and on reporting databases that get executives their numbers fast.
He also runs data conversions, or builds a reporting layer on the current system when a company would rather keep it.
How we work
- James and Austin do the work themselves.
- When a project needs more hands, we bring in contractors we've worked with for years.
- We don't sell software.
- AI handles mapping and documentation. People sign off on balances and business logic.
