About

I am a data science professional who turns raw data into clear and commercially meaningful strategies. Over the past nine years I have built and deployed marketing mix models, churn and CLTV engines, segmentation frameworks, and real time dashboards for companies in CPG, retail, and media. My work improves media allocation, accelerates customer growth, and sharpens executive decision making. I own the full analytics lifecycle from data engineering and model design through stakeholder storytelling. My toolkit includes Python, R, SQL, and cloud BI platforms such as Mixpanel, Looker Studio, Tableau, and Power BI. I routinely apply causal inference, time series forecasting, uplift modeling, and experiment design to answer questions like where the next marketing dollar should go or which customers are likely to stay loyal. What sets me apart is the ability to translate statistical rigor into language that marketers, product managers, and finance teams can act on. I enjoy mentoring analysts, embedding best practices, and raising analytics maturity across organizations.
