About Me
A bit more about me
I'm a Data Scientist and Analyst who cares more about practical impact than impressive jargon. Most days, that means cleaning messy data, smoothing out clunky processes, and building systems that help people move faster without thinking harder. I love the craft of making complicated things feel simple and turning "it works" into "it works every time."
Good data workflow, to me, is quiet and dependable. It is the kind of infrastructure you only notice when it's missing.
Outside of work, I'm a chef, an exuberant host, and a professional over-planner of dinners that somehow turn into the best conversations. I love trying new tech, exploring new cities, and eating like a local wherever I land.
I love fresh air, long walks, good movies, and unsolicited dog-and-cat encounters. I'm a space nerd at heart. It's a constant reminder that scale changes meaning, and data is where I work with that idea in practice.
