About Us

Hi, I’m ALi (she/her), a queer civil engineer and founder of Calypso Arcana—a Tucson-based consultancy blending infrastructure smarts with creative tech solutions. I help both public utilities and local orgs get their data working for them, not against them.

My work ranges from hydraulic modeling and pump performance analysis to interactive dashboards and modern workflow automation using tools like Power BI, ArcGIS, and Microsoft 365. I’ve supported cities like Oro Valley and Tucson Water—but I also love helping LGBTQ-owned businesses, nonprofits, and community orgs ditch their spreadsheets and build systems that are smarter, simpler, and beautifully functional.

Whether you need to map your water pressure zones, automate a reporting process, or finally understand what your data’s trying to tell you, I’ve got you. I design bilingual, user-friendly tools that empower teams to track progress, uncover insights, and streamline decision-making—without the tech overwhelm.

I work solo, so you get a direct line to your engineer. My approach is hands-on, equity-informed, and human-first—always. Public sector or passion project, I bring the same energy: clear solutions, creative design, and deep respect for the people behind the data.

Let’s build something that works—and makes you feel like a total boss using it. ????
