About

Senior Data Analyst and Python developer specializing in machine learning, data systems, and high-performance analytics applications. I design and build scalable, data-intensive solutions that transform complex datasets into intelligent systems capable of driving real-world decisions. My work sits at the intersection of data engineering, software development, and applied machine learning. With a background spanning analytics, systems design, and software development, I focus on building robust tools and architectures that solve difficult technical problems — from automated data pipelines to predictive models and production-ready applications. Known for my meticulous thinking and deep curiosity, I approach problems like an engineer and strategist: breaking complex challenges into elegant systems that are reliable, maintainable, and scalable. I thrive in independent and remote environments where I can focus deeply, iterate quickly, and build meaningful technology that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with data.

  • ● Enterprise Data Analysis & Data Visualization: Utilized SQL, Python, and R to analyze insurance claims/workforce absence data pulled from cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Dataiku, SAP BusinessObjects) in order to create Data Visualization dashboards via Power BI to deliver insights that improved insurance claim response timeliness and care team average satisfaction scores.
  • ● Full-Stack Web Application Development: Designed and deployed full-stack web applications with dynamic frontends utilizing HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), Javascript (jQuery) and Python (Flask, Django)/SQL backends. Applications created include:
  • 1) Claims Report Automation App: Automates the creation of insurance claim to-do list tasks using daily/weekly report data hosted on Dataiku by leveraging external APIs; included form validation, API logging, and custom Python library creation for interacting with internal APIs. Webapp was used company-wide to automate over 40 daily/weekly reports in order to automate the creation of to-do list items within our insurance claims software (TAMS and JURIS) and now no longer requires dedicated staffing to address manually, reducing the workload on claim specialist team members.
  • 2) HR Contact Validation App
  • ● ETL Data Pipeline Creation: Designed and maintained ETL data pipelines in Daitaiku and Snowflake using Python, SQL, and R in order to support ad-hoc report creation and web application databases.
  • ● HEX & Snowflake Web Application Development: Developed data-intensive web applications in HEX utilizing no-code frontends, Python/SQL backend, and data sourced from Snowflake in order to streamline the creation of data visualizations and ad-hock reports for major clients.
  • ● AI-Enhanced Engineering & Analysis: Used AI tools including ChatGPT, Cursor, and Microsoft Copilot to accelerate SQL/Python development, debug complex pipelines, auto-generate documentation, optimize ETL workflows, and design scalable R&D prototypes—improving solution delivery speed by 30%+.
