About

I’m an analytics professional with a strong quantitative background, currently focused on data and product analytics roles where analysis directly informs decisions. My experience spans data-intensive environments, where I’ve built analytical tools, automated workflows, and worked with messy, high-stakes data. I’m comfortable owning problems end-to-end, from data extraction and quality checks to modeling, insight generation, and communicating results to non-technical stakeholders. I hold an M.S. in Operations Research, and I’ve continued to deepen my technical foundation through hands-on work in machine learning, Python, SQL, and experimentation-style analysis.
